Case Report: A new therapeutic option for a rare patent ductus arteriosus child complicated with pulmonary artery aneurysm due to infectious endocarditis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

FEBRUARY 18, 2025

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common forms of congenital heart disease (CHD). PDA combined with pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) due to IE is rare in children. In this report, we report a rare pediatric PDA case, complicated with PAA due to IE.

FEBRUARY 2, 2024

Aims A proportion of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) do not fit in the current classification. The role of ASD in pediatric PH should be reconsidered. No survival difference could be demonstrated between the groups.

Absorbable metal stents for vascular use in pediatric cardiology: progress and outlook

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

JULY 25, 2024

Nowhere is the need for fully absorbable metal stents greater than in patients experiencing vascular anomalies associated with congenital heart disease (CHD). We also discuss the challenges and our center's experience associated with the use of absorbable metal stents in this pediatric population.

MARCH 30, 2024

Transcript of the video: Ebstein’s Anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart disease in which survival to adult life is common. The cyanosis in Ebstein’s anomaly, is usually not due to pulmonary hypertension, but because tricuspid regurgitation jet is directed across the atrial septal defect.

A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. This view images the heart from the base to apex long axis view.
