Minimally Invasive Correction of Failed Percutaneous Atrial Septal Closure with Device Embolization
We present the case of a minimally invasive surgical correction for failed percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in a 57-year-old female patient with residual ASD, tricuspid regurgitation, atrial fibrillation, and embolization of one of two occluders to the superior mesenteric artery. Our surgical approach consisted of anterolateral minithoracotomy, aortic and femoral vein cannulation, cryoablation, cardiac device removal, closure of ASD with autologous pericardium, and tricuspid repair. The procedure was uneventful and patient was discharged home on postoperative day 4. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstra�...

A 4-month-old male with Raghib syndrome: a rare case report from Syria
CONCLUSION: Extracardiac treatment for this illness reduces the load on the left atrial suture and may stop further arrhythmias. There is no possibility of pulmonary vein flow restriction when there are no atrial tunnels.PMID:38463122 | PMC:PMC10923301 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001693 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Preoperative Feeding Fortification Among Infants with Congenital Heart Disease is Associated with Higher Growth Velocity in the First 30 Days Post-repair and Lower BMI Percentile for Age at 10 Years: A Retrospective Cohort Study
AbstractIt remains unclear how preoperative nutrition fortification impacts postoperative growth trajectories and nutritional status among infants with congenital heart disease. A single center retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate measures of growth among patients who underwent cardiac repair at 0 –18 months of age for atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, atrioventricular septal defect, or tetralogy of Fallot. Cohorts were analyzed at 0–30 and 31–60 days post-repair as well as at 2, 5, and 10 years of age. Records of 24 patients who received fortified nutrition and 60 pat ients who rece...

Trends of mortality rate in patients with congenital heart defects in Germany —analysis of nationwide data of the Federal Statistical Office of Germany
ConclusionMortality in CHD patients decreased significantly between 1998 and 2010, but a substantial number of deaths still occurred and even significantly increased in the last 3 years of the observation period particularly in neonates and infants. This renewed slight increase in mortality rate during the last years was influenced mainly by high-risk neonates and infants. Assessment of factors influencing the mortality rate trends in association with CHD in Germany is urge ntly needed. Obligatory nationwide registration of death cases in relation to surgical and catheter interventions in CHD patients is necessary to pro...

Universal Fetal Echocardiography for Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
CONCLUSION: For pregnant patients with first-trimester Hb A1c levels lower than 6.5%, universal fetal echocardiogram was not cost effective, whereas, for those with first-trimester Hb A1c levels higher than 9.0%, universal fetal echocardiogram was cost effective. For those with intermediate Hb A1c levels, universal fetal echocardiogram was cost effective in about 50% of cases; therefore, clinical judgment based on individual patient values, willingness to pay to detect congenital heart disease, and resource availability needs to be considered.PMID:38422504 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005538 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)
