IntroductionThe objective of this study was to examine the impact of ventricular assist device support as a bridge to hearttransplantation in children with end-stage heart failure. Patients were divided into two groups: with pre transplant ventricular assist device (VAD) support and without VAD support.
Adult patients surviving with congenitalheartdisease (ACHD) is growing. We examine the factors associated with hearttransplant outcomes in this challenging population with complex anatomy requiring redo-sur.
Zeke and Zane were both diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) before birth. As far as congenitalheartdiseases go, HLHS falls on the rarer end of the spectrum. Within one day, our hearttransplant team performed the transplant surgery.
New Jersey-based Atlantic Health System’s Morristown Medical Center and New York-based NYU Langone Health, both nationally recognized cardiovascular programs, have announced that they are expanding their partnership to provide patients improved access to adult congenitalheartdisease services and the specialist directed care.
Hearttransplant rates were low but increased slightly in 2020 for patients without CHD, with DV and SV CHD patients showing fluctuating rates peaking in 2018 and 2019, then declining in 2020. Cardiogenic shock rates were highest among SV-CHD patients, with significant fluctuations, followed by DV-CHD patients.
Background:Neonates with complex congenitalheartdisease and pulmonary overcirculation have been historically treated surgically. However, subcohorts may benefit from less invasive procedures.
Introduction Hearttransplantation (HT) is the only treatment option in children with heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathies and non-reparable congenitalheartdiseases.
This institute is dedicated to pioneering research, innovation, and the development of clinically effective techniques for addressing various heart conditions. Additionally, it offers comprehensive cardiac screening and preventive care.
This study aimed to investigate the early and late efficacy, survival, and safety of CRT in patients with tetralogy of Fallot.METHODS:Data were analyzed from an observational, retrospective, multicenter cohort, initiated jointly by the Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society and the International Society of Adult CongenitalHeartDisease.
In as early as 1958, the first heart surgery -a closed mitral commissurotomy on a 30-year-old man with rheumatic mitral stenosis- was performed by Professor Ton That Tung, setting the stage for many decades of cardiac surgical endeavours to come. Only 7 centers are able to perform neonatal and high-risk congenitalheart surgery.
Background:Without timely intervention, pressure-overloading left ventricular (poLV) remodeling may become progressive and readily degenerate into heart failure. Plasma Kyn levels were clinically associated with the cardiac functions and the degree of remodeling.
BACKGROUND:The United Network of Organ Sharing made changes to the priority for allocation of hearts for transplantation (HT) in 2016 for pediatric patients and 2018 for adult patients. Circulation, Ahead of Print.
Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:In 2018, an algorithm-based allocation system for hearttransplantation (HT) was implemented in France. The cumulative incidence of waitlist mortality estimated with competing risk analysis and incidence of transplantation were compared between diagnosis groups.
PVRi, PASP, RVFW-LS/PVRi, TAPSE/PVRi, and RVFW-LS/PASP predicted the outcome variable of transplant or death (area under the curve, 0.771 [P<0.001], 0.729 [P=0.004], 0.748 [P=0.002], 0.732 [P=0.009], and 0.714 [P=0.01], respectively), while TAPSE/PASP, RVFW-LS, and TAPSE did not (area under the curve, 0.671, 0.603, and 0.525, respectively).
