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).

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).

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

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Lowering the raised LA mean pressure is a major therapeutic goal in any severely symptomatic left heart disease, whether it is valvular or myocardial disease. Curious minds might ask, can’t we decompress LV it self by creating a small VSD. Probably in the thin membranous area.
