6, 2025 Medtronic plc hasannounced it received CE ( Conformit Europenne ) Mark for the Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) System, a minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for congenital heart disease patients with native or surgically repaired right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). 1 Hoffman JL, Kaplan S.
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.
This year saw exciting developments in the treatment of pediatric and congenital heart disease. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) continued to dominate the field of interventional cardiology.
However, the cause and risk factors for mortality remain uncertain.MethodsThis retrospective, singlecenter study identified children with primary and secondary pulmonary vein stenosis through a cardiac catheterization database. P=0.032), and the presence of congenital heart disease (HR, 2.4 [95% 95% CI, 2.214.1];P<0.001).
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.
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.
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.
BACKGROUND:Right ventricular-arterial coupling (RVAC) describes the relationship between right ventricular contractility and pulmonary vascular afterload. In a retrospective analysis, hybrid (echo and invasive) RVAC metrics included TAPSE/pulmonary vascular resistance (PVRi) and RVFW-LS/PVRi.
Two articles and an accompanying editorial in Heart Rhythm , the official journal of the Heart Rhythm Society, the Cardiac Electrophysiology Society , and the Pediatric & Congenital Electrophysiology Society , published by Elsevier , address the controversy and recommend shortening the blanking period.
In a remarkable leap forward for pediatric cardiac care, a groundbreaking partial heart transplant procedure has emerged as a beacon of hope for infants facing severe congenital heart conditions. The surgical team skillfully dissected the pulmonary artery ostia and coronary artery buttons, preparing for the intricate transplant.
Transcript of the video: Ebstein’s Anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart disease in which survival to adult life is common. The cyanosis in Ebstein’s anomaly, is usually not due to pulmonary hypertension, but because tricuspid regurgitation jet is directed across the atrial septal defect.
This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. The aorta, right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery up to its bifurcation is imaged in the upward angulation shown in the left panel. Colour flow shows the flow in pulmonary artery.
