Background: Surgical treatment of functional single ventricle combined with atrioventricular valve regurgitation remains a clinical challenge. The outcomes of atrioventricular valve repair in patients with single ventricle are limited.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of all 28 patients with functional single ventricle treated with single-ventricle palliation who underwent atrioventricular valve operation at the First Hospital of Tsinghua University between April 2007 and October 2022.

Biological ageing can be defined as a gradual loss of homeostasis across various aspects of molecular and cellular function. Mammalian brains consist of thousands of cell types, which may be differentially susceptible or resilient to ageing. Here we present a comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing dataset containing roughly 1.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical application and primary outcome of transcatheter embolization using Amplatzerâ„¢ Vascular Plug (AVP) Type 2 and Type 4 in different congenital cardiovascular malformations. This is a single-center retrospective observational cohort study. We analyzed clinical and imaging data of 36 patients retrospectively who received transcatheter embolizations of the following malformations using AVP: systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries (SPCA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), ventricular septal defects (VSD), and aberrant pulmonary sequestration arteries (PSA).

Lower Child Opportunity Index is Associated with Lower Exercise Capacity Post-Fontan Palliation.

The Child Opportunity Index (COI) is a validated measurement that uses a composite index of 29 indicators of social determinants of health linked to the US Census. Patients post-Fontan palliation for single ventricle physiology often have reduced exercise capacity compared to the general population. Our hypothesis is that COI levels are directly associated with exercise capacity and inversely with late outcomes.

Background And Purpose: In idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow is typically evaluated with a cardiac-gated two-dimensional (2D) phase-contrast (PC) MRI through the cerebral aqueduct. This approach is limited by the evaluation of a single location and does not account for respiration effects on flow. In this study, we quantified the cardiac and respiratory contributions to CSF movement at multiple intracranial locations using a real-time 2D PC-MRI and evaluated the diagnostic value of CSF dynamics biomarkers in classifying iNPH patients.
