pulmonary atresia/albumin

Massive intestinal protein loss was demonstrated and the site of loss determined by abdominal scintigraphy with 99mTc-labeled human serum albumin in a 9-year-old girl following the Fontan operation for pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum. Significant activity accumulating in the lower

In pulmonary atresia with a ventricular septal defect and similar congenital heart disorders the pulmonary blood supply is often multifocal. The relative distribution of pulmonary perfusion from individual sources is usually demonstrated by selective angiography. A new technique using a selective

We evaluated two children with pulmonary atresia for coil embolization of aortopulmonary collateral vessels after placement of palliative aortopulmonary shunts. To determine vessel distribution and lung perfusion prior to collateral embolization, perfusion scintigraphy with technetium 99m-labeled

With improving survival of children with complex congenital heart disease (CCHD), postoperative complications, like protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) are increasingly encountered. A 3-year-old girl with surgically corrected CCHD (ventricular inversion/L-transposition of the great arteries,

A 20-year-old patient, who had double outlet right ventricle, mitral atresia, pulmonary atresia, and bilateral superior vena cava and underwent successful lateral tunnel total cavo-pulmonary connection at 6 years old, presented with frequent watery diarrhea, general malaise, and tetany. He was known
