In 11 of 21 fetuses with prenatally diagnosed complete heart block, congestive heart failure with signs of non-immune hydrops fetalis was seen. In all 11 fetuses, cardiac malformations were present: complete atrioventricular canal with levocardia, situs inversus viscerum, and polysplenia: 5 cases;
Thirteen patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries underwent cardiac surgery between May 1964 and May 1984. Eleven cases underwent corrective surgery and two palliative treatment. Four cases had closure of the ventricular septal defect two had pulmonary valvotomy, two
We evaluated the efficacy of the extended use of hemofiltration (EHF) and high perfusion flow rate in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric open-heart surgery retrospectively. In the EHF method, hemofiltration was used for hemic prime before initiation of the bypass and ultrafiltration was used
BACKGROUND
Fetal heart block in the second and third trimesters may be caused by transplacental passage of auto-antibodies or cardiac defects. Little is known about the etiology of first-trimester fetal heart block.
METHODS
Fetal heart block was diagnosed in four patients (negative antibody
Besides DiGeorge, velocardiofacial and conotruncal anomaly face syndromes, some of the isolated congenital heart diseases have also been associated with a chromosomal deletion in 22q11. These disease entities, which had originally been considered to have a different genetic background, are now
Dextro-Transposition of Great Arteries (d-TGA) was repaired by Mustard's operation in 69 patients during a 10 year period (1973-1982) in our institution. Ages at the time of surgery ranged from 3 months to 18 years, with a median age of 18 months. Factors that most affected mortality and morbidity
BACKGROUND
The HeartWare Ventricular Assist System is indicated to provide mechanical circulatory support of patients with intractable heart failure as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. We describe the use of this device to support the systemic right ventricle (RV) of a pediatric patient with New
Transposition of the great arteries is a complex cardiac malformation with poor prognosis without surgical correction. Since the introduction of surgical procedures such as the intra-auricular reorientation of the venous return (Mustard procedure), an increasing number of patients may reach
Prostaglandin E1 is commonly used in the management of cyanotic congenital heart disease. While cutaneous flushing and peripheral edema are well recognized side effects of prostaglandin E1 therapy, other cutaneous effects have not been described in the dermatologic literature. We report a neonate
Introduction: Situs inversus totalis is an uncommon anomaly which exist a complete transposition of organs and it's occasionally associated with congenital heart diseases, such as tetralogy of fallot. Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor with an annual incidence of 2-8 cases per million
Cold potassium cardioplegia was used in 78 consecutive patients undergoing correction of complex congenital heart disease between 1977 and 1982. Ages ranged from 4 weeks to 21 years (mean 6.7 years). The anatomical diagnoses were: tetralogy of Fallot (33), common AV canal (12), pulmonary atresia
