PO-01-044 ARRHYTHMIA OCCURENCE AFTER TRANSCATHETER PULMONARY VALVE REPLACEMENT IN CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE PATIENTS

HeartRhythm

Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has become a safe and effective alternative to surgical PVR in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), isolated pulmonary stenosis (PS), and other congenital heart disease (CHD) variants.

Patient-specific 3D in vitro modeling and fluid dynamic analysis of primary pulmonary vein stenosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionPrimary pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare congenital heart disease that proves to be a clinical challenge due to the rapidly progressive disease course and high rates of treatment complications.

Clinical Practice Algorithm For the Follow-Up of Unrepaired and Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot

American College of Cardiology

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). Early management of this condition is typically dictated by the degree of pulmonary stenosis (PS) and resulting oxygen saturations.

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.
