Right subaxillary small incision on low-age and low-weight infants with congenital heart disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAs a minimally invasive approach to treating congenital heart disease (CHD), the application of the right subaxillary small incision (RSSI) has been developing fast in its indication spectrum. A1:1 matched MS group (282 cases) and RSSI group (282 cases) were obtained after performing propensity score matching (PSM).

The sign has been described in VSD with biventricular hypertrophy in children. It can be seen with isolated VSD as well as complex ventricular septal defect. Katz-Wachtel Phenomenon or Sign on ECG in VSD An ECG with Katz-Wachtel phenomenon is shown here.

Explanatory deep learning to predict elevated pulmonary artery pressure in children with ventricular septal defects using standard chest x-rays: a novel approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Objective Early risk assessment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is crucial to ensure timely treatment. We hypothesize that applying artificial intelligence (AI) to chest x-rays (CXRs) could identify the future risk of PAH in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD).

milla1cf Wed, 05/29/2024 - 07:00 May 29, 2024 — Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common congenital anomalies worldwide, which brings a heavy health and financial burden to patients. Early CHD screening and treatment can significantly improve children’s prognosis and quality of life.

Corvia atrial shunt system: Mean LA pressure reduction device in HFpEF

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Curious minds might ask, can’t we decompress LV it self by creating a small VSD. This is to create a small regulatory orifice in the IAS ( A complicated term for a small ASD ) to decompress the LA and reduce pulmonary congestive symptoms. Probably in the thin membranous area.

The VSD is partly overrided by the aorta. And all the three are cyanotic congenital heart diseases. I am sure that most of you are familiar with echocardiography would have come at the diagnosis and differential diagnosis by this time because it is a very simple view. Right ventricle, left ventricle.

Evaluation of JVP

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

But in a VSD with pulmonary hypertension A wave is not prominent. So a prominent A wave in a complex congenital heart disease situation would indicate that interventricular septum is intact. It will not occur in the presence of a large VSD which equalizes both right ventricular and left ventricular pressures.
