Hepatic Fibrosis Risk Factors in Extracardiac-Fontan Patients: Observations From a Single Center.

We reviewed our experience with transvenous liver biopsy-derived hepatic fibrosis scores and possible associated risk factors in those postextracardiac Fontan patients. We identified extracardiac-Fontan patients with postoperative durations <20 years who underwent cardiac catheterizations with transvenous hepatic biopsies between April 2012 and July 2022. If a patient underwent two liver biopsies, we averaged the two total fibrosis scores and concurrent time, pressure, and oxygen saturation data.

Isolated Vascular Rings Are Common Cardiovascular Malformations.

Objective: We investigated the prevalence of isolated vascular rings in the general population of Southern Nevada.

Methods: We identified those prenatally and postnatally diagnosed with an isolated vascular ring between January 2014 and December 2021. We included only those with vascular or ligamentous structures completely encircling the trachea and esophagus.

Hepatic fibrosis gender differences in extracardiac Fontan patients.

Objective: We investigated possible gender differences for hepatic fibrosis in extracardiac-Fontan patients.

Methods: We identified extracardiac Fontan, performed between 2000 and 2016, who underwent cardiac catheterizations with transvenous hepatic biopsies between April 2012 and June 2022. We divided the patients by gender for analysis.

Prenatal diagnosis of hypoplastic aortic arch without intracardiac malformations: The nevada experience.

Objective: We reviewed our center's experience with neonatal and infant hypoplastic aortic arch, unassociated with intracardiac malformations, and investigated changes in prenatal detection rates over time for those requiring therapeutic procedures.

Methods: We identified all prenatal diagnoses of hypoplastic aortic arch with situs solitus, unassociated with intracardiac malformations, made in Nevada between May 2017 and April 2022. In addition, we identified all those 0-180 days old, with prenatal care, that underwent a surgical or interventional cardiac catheterization aortic arch procedure, whether prenatally or postnatally diagnosed.

Complex neonatal congenital heart surgery in Nevada.

Objective: We reviewed our center's surgical mortality rates for those who underwent a Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (STAT) category 4 or 5 neonatal cardiovascular surgery.

Methods: We identified all patients who underwent a STAT category 4 or 5 neonatal index cardiovascular surgical procedure between July 2015 and July 2021.

Results: We identified 239 patients.

Pulmonary Versus Systemic Outflow Obstruction in Functionally Univentricular Hearts with Isomerism: An Observation.

Our objective was to review our experience with isomerism associated with univentricular hearts and evaluate the prevalence of pulmonary versus systemic outflow obstruction. We identified those prenatally or postnatally diagnosed, between September 2004 and October 2021, with right and left isomerism and a functionally univentricular heart. We identified 62, 51 prenatally and 11 postnatally.

Prenatal diagnosis of significant congenital heart disease and elective termination of pregnancy in Nevada.

Objective: We investigated the relationship between prenatal detection of significant congenital heart disease and elective termination of pregnancy over time in Nevada.

Methods: We identified those prenatally or post-natally diagnosed with significant congenital cardiovascular malformations in Nevada with birth dates or estimated delivery dates between July 2012 and June 2021.

Results: We identified 1246.

Prenatal diagnosis in Nevada for patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery in the first six months.

Objective: We reviewed our center's experience with prenatal detection in Nevada's general population for young infants undergoing cardiovascular surgery.

Methods: We identified patients born in Nevada that underwent an initial cardiovascular surgery between 0 and 6 months old with birth dates between August 2012 and July 2021. Additionally, we calculated prenatal congenital cardiovascular malformation detection rates for each of the 9 years.

Common arterial trunk in the era of high prenatal detection rates: Results of neonatal palliation and primary repair.

Objective: We reviewed our center's experience with common arterial trunk.

Methods: We included those with common arterial trunk in Nevada with estimated delivery dates or birth dates between June 2006 and May 2021. We excluded patients with functionally univentricular hearts.
