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

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.

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Interpretation Across the Lifespan in Congenital Heart Disease: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Journal of the American Heart Association

Survivorship from congenital heart disease has improved rapidly secondary to advances in surgical and medical management. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a valuable tool for assessing functional capacity, evaluating cardiac and pulmonary pathology, and providing guidance on prognosis and interventional recommendations.

Application of a modified clinical classification for pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease in children: emphasis on atrial septal defects and transposition of the great arteries. An analysis from the TOPP registry

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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

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.
