For the first time, we report about two extremely low birth weight infants who were born at 25 and 22 weeks' gestation and who survived functional pulmonary atresia (fPA) with normal intracardiac anatomy. A slow, reflected, and bimodal blood flow pattern in the pulmonary artery (both cases) and the
This report describes a case of Ebstein anomaly in a fetus with cardiomegaly, severe tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary regurgitation, and retrograde ductal flow that showed a marked increase in the size of the right atrium with advancing gestational age. Elective preterm delivery was performed at
OBJECTIVE
To assess the safety and efficacy of transcatheter intervention for critical pulmonary stenosis (CPS) and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) in neonates.
METHODS
From June 2006 to September 2011, 27 neonates including CPS in 19 patients and PA/IVS in 8 patients
OBJECTIVE
To assess the feasibility of transcatheter intervention for critical pulmonary arterial valve stenosis and atresia with intact ventricular septum in neonates.
METHODS
From June 2006 to January 2008, 13 neonates (9 with critical pulmonary arterial valve stenosis, 4 with pulmonary arterial
Between 1985 and 1992, 36 consecutive neonates, aged 1-29 days, weight 2.4-5.0 kg, with critical valvar pulmonary stenosis underwent attempted balloon dilation (BD). At catheterization, 30 were on prostaglandin (PGE1) therapy and 20 were intubated. The valve was successfully crossed and dilated in
We report a case of surgical treatment for neonatal Ebstein's anomaly with circular shunting. A prenatal diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly was made at 30 weeks of gestation. In addition to severe tricuspid regurgitation, severe pulmonary regurgitation was also noted, resulting in a 'circular shunt'. At
OBJECTIVE
This study focused on the anatomical features and outcomes of percutaneous pulmonary valve balloon dilation (PVD) in newborns < or = 3 kg in weight.
BACKGROUND
Although PVD is the treatment of choice for isolated pulmonary valve stenosis, there are no studies detailing technical,
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital cardiac malformation that consists of an interventricular communication, also known as a ventricular septal defect, obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, override of the ventricular septum by the aortic root, and right ventricular hypertrophy. This
