Congenital JET (junctional ectopic tachycardia) is a rare and often difficult to treat tachyarrhythmia in young infants. The addition of Ivabradine to standard Congenital JET therapy has been shown to improve arrhythmia control. However, Ivabradine has not been reported as a single drug in the control of congenital JET. We report a pre-term neonate in whom Ivabradine monotherapy was successful in treating congenital JET.

Junctional Ectopic Tachycardia After Congenital Heart Surgery: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes.

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Dr. Siyami Ersek Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital, İstanbul, Türkiye.
Objective: Postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is usually a self-limiting condition; however, when combined with atrioventricular dissociation and postoperative ventricular dysfunction, it may increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the overall incidence of JET following congenital heart surgery, to identify patient and procedure-related risk factors, and to evaluate the clinical impact of JET on outcomes.
Methods: The records of 2,814 patients who underwent cardiac surgery over a five-year period were reviewed retrospectively to identify those with JET.
Effect of aortic valve phenotype and sex on aorta dilation in patients with aortic stenosis.

Article Synopsis
- Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) shows increased progression of aorta dilation compared to tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) in patients with aortic stenosis, with a median annualized change of 0.33 mm/year for BAV versus 0.21 mm/year for TAV.
- Factors influencing the dilation rate differ by valve type; BAV patients are more affected by low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, while TAV patients are influenced by the apolipoprotein B/A-I ratio and baseline aortic jet velocity.
- The study highlights that men and women have different predictors for AA dilation; men’s dilation relates to baseline jet velocity and aortic diameter, while
Quadricuspid aortic valve in a 16-year-old Quarter horse.

Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Perugia, Via San Costanzo 4, Perugia, 06126, Italy.
A 16-year-old horse, 400 kg, male, Quarter horse gelding was examined for a cardiac murmur that had not been previously heard. Physical examination revealed a regularly irregular pulse and a grade III/VI, decrescendo, diastolic murmur with a point of maximum intensity over the left heart base. Base-apex standard electrocardiographic examination at rest showed sinus rhythm with second-degree atrio-ventricular blocks.

Article Synopsis
- Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO) is a leading cause of hydronephrosis in children, and while ultrasonography is useful, it can't determine if an obstruction is present; thus, Ureteric jets through color Doppler ultrasound are being studied for this purpose.
- The study aimed to evaluate Ureteric Jet Frequency (UJF) and Relative Jet Frequency (RJF) in children with unilateral PUJO before and after administering furosemide, assessing their effectiveness for diagnosis and post-operative monitoring.
- Results showed that UJF was significantly lower on the obstructed side, but the difference was not significant when compared to controls; after surgery, both UJF and RJF increased, indicating their potential utility in
Complex chest wall reconstruction after failure: a literature review.
J Thorac Dis
July 2024
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Milan, Italy.
Background And Objective: Primary and secondary chest wall tumors (bone, breast, and soft tissue), congenital defects, and chest wall osteoradionecrosis often require extensive full-thickness local excisions to guarantee safe oncological margins (in cases of tumors) and complex reconstruction to provide stabilization and good biomechanical results avoiding postoperative respiratory failure. Thus, a personalized approach is required when dealing with chest wall defects, and reconstruction is planned. This review summarizes failed chest wall reconstruction procedures, identifies causes of failure, and highlights principles for complex chest wall reconstruction post-failure.
