Patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) were previously considered poor candidates for mechanical circulatory support due to technical limitations related to restrictive ventricular physiology and small ventricular size, limiting the ability to provide adequate flows and decompress the heart. Literature examining use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in this population consists of a single case series reporting no survivors. We report our experience providing ECMO in children with RCM or HCM at a large pediatric quaternary cardiac center.

Childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is an important pediatric kidney disease associated with significant morbidities and even mortality. Several guidelines have been developed to standardize the terminology and patient care among the pediatric nephrology community. Since the publication of these guidelines, there have been major breakthroughs in the disease management and the understanding of underlying pathogenesis through multi-omics investigations, including the identification of anti-nephrin autoantibodies, genetic susceptibility loci, and the pathogenic role of B cell subsets.

As the Fontan population grows, understanding successful strategies for ventricular assist device (VAD) support of the failing Fontan circulation is needed. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with Fontan circulation and systemic VAD support in the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) registry. Competing outcomes and Kaplan-Meier estimated survival methods were used.
