Abstract 4146655: Transcatheter device closure of Ventricular Septal Defect in children weighing less than 30 lbs. is a safe and effective procedure based on 10-year experience from a single tertiary center in southern India

Circulation

Introduction:Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common pediatric defect which benefits from closure at an early age. and excluded patients with VSD diameter >10mm and those with other congenital cardiac anomalies.Results:We included 40 patients with a mean age of 18.95 ± 13.02 The mean VSD size was 6.01 ± 2.29

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).
