Clinical outcomes after surgical resection in asymptomatic and symptomatic children with congenital lung malformations

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Purpose Our study aims to evaluate the outcomes of children with congenital lung malformation (CLM) who have undergone surgical resection. Congenital pulmonary airway malformation was the most common diagnosis, affecting 26 children (68.4%). Results During our study period, a total of 38 children with CLM were undergone surgery.

Transpulmonary Expression of Exosomal microRNAs in Idiopathic and Congenital Heart Disease–Related Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Journal of the American Heart Association

Journal of the American Heart Association, Volume 12, Issue 23 , December 5, 2023. Transpulmonary exosomal miRs offer valuable insights into pulmonary circulation microenvironments. Using an in vitro flow model simulating the shear stress experienced by pulmonary endothelial cells, we observed a significant upregulation of miR‐21.

Transcatheter Palliation With Pulmonary Artery Flow Restrictors in Neonates With Congenital Heart Disease: Feasibility, Outcomes, and Comparison With a Historical Hybrid Stage 1 Cohort

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Background:Neonates with complex congenital heart disease and pulmonary overcirculation have been historically treated surgically. Pulmonary arteries grew adequately for age, and devices were easily removed without complications. However, subcohorts may benefit from less invasive procedures. kilograms [IQR, 2.1–3.3])

Torsade in a patient with left bundle branch block: is there a long QT? (And: Left Bundle Pacing).

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

CT of the chest showed no pulmonary embolism but bibasilar infiltrates. It should be kept in mind that on occasions, beta-one agonist can result in increased ventricular ectopy e.g., in severe myocardial ischemia (by increasing myocardial demand), or sometimes with congenital long-QT syndrome. She was intubated.

Abstract 4147910: 22q11 Deletion Syndrome: A Potenitial Risk Factor For Left Pulmonary Artery Hypoplasia and Need For Intervention in Patients With Congeital Heart Disease

Circulation

Animal studies have shown that mice with TBX1 gene mutations have smaller left pulmonary arteries compared to wild type mice, defined by a reduced left pulmonary artery (LPA) to right pulmonary artery (RPA) ratio. A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts.
