Risk Factors of Long-Term Sequelae After Transcatheter Closure of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect in Young Children
CONCLUSIONS: Careful attention is crucial for pmVSDs ≥4.5 mm to prevent persistent residual shunts in transcatheter closure. Assessing AR risk, particularly in children aged <4 years, is essential while considering the benefits of pmVSD closure.PMID:38325819 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-23-0891 (Source: Circulation Journal)

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 207: A Pilot Study of Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification Evaluation of Copy Number Variations in Romanian Children with Congenital Heart Defects
ihaela Mihu
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) have had an increasing prevalence over the last decades, being one of the most common congenital defects. Their etiopathogenesis is multifactorial in origin. About 10&ndash;15% of all CHD can be attributed to copy number variations (CNVs), a type of submicroscopic structural genetic alterations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the involvement of CNVs in the development of congenital heart defects. We performed a cohort study investigating the presence of CNVs in the 22q11.2 region and GATA4, TBX5, NKX2-5, BMP4, and CRELD1 genes in patients with syndromic and iso...

Maternal Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Congenital Heart Disease
in Offspring: A Meta-Analysis
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2238-1710Maternal diabetes has been related to an increased risk of congenital heart
disease (CHD) in offspring. However, inconsistent results were retrieved for
studies evaluating the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)
and CHD in offspring. We therefore performed a systematic review and
meta-analysis for comprehensive investigation. Observational studies were
identified by searching PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science according to the aim
of the meta-analysis. A randomized-effects model was used to pool the data b...

A Surgical Case of Partially Unroofed Coronary Sinus Atrial Septal Defect in an Elderly Patient Diagnosed by Preoperative Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography
Int Heart J. 2024;65(1):155-158. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-401.ABSTRACTUnroofed coronary sinus syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, involving some anatomical variations. Approximately 60% of patients with unroofed coronary sinus syndrome have a concomitant atrial septal defect, which is termed unroofed coronary sinus atrial septal defect (CSASD). The precise detection of these abnormalities has been usually difficult with conventional echocardiography, mostly due to its small and complex structures. Herein, we report a case with unroofed coronary sinus atrial septal defect, in which preoperative contrast-enhanced compu...

Procedural Efficiencies and Clinical Outcomes for Transcatheter Device Closure of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defects With Different Waist-Length Occluders
CONCLUSIONS: Transcatheter closure of pmVSD using a symmetrical double-disk occluder is safe and effective. Compared with a 3-mm waist symmetrical occluder, transcatheter closure with a 4-mm waist symmetrical occluder correlated with higher incidences of residual shunts.PMID:38296536 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-23-0583 (Source: Circulation Journal)
