A 5-year-old boy with the history of intractable seizure for the past 2 years was transferred to the emergency room for cardiopulmonary resuscitation because of the prolonged seizure and profound cyanosis. He was intubated and resuscitated by cardioversion for a bizarre shape ventricular tachycardia (VT). After noxious stimulation, he showed multiple polymorphic ventricular premature beats that were followed by a bidirectional VT in favor of catecholaminer...

Fetal diagnosis of isolated absent pulmonary valve with intact interventricular septum: How to counsel the parents ?
Shaimaa Rakha, Naif AlkhushiAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2020 13(2):136-140
Isolated absent pulmonary valve syndrome with an intact ventricular septum (APVS/IVS) is an extremely rare lesion. The prenatal diagnosis was described in a few reports. In the current work, we report a unique fetal case with this rare anomaly. The family counseling for isolated APVS/IVS is a different challenging process than with fetal Fallot type diagnosis. Moreover, 22q11 deletion has never been found as an association. Parents must also be aware of the expected early heart failure in cases with large patent ductus arteriosus and the need fo...

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of indomethacin, ibuprofen, and paracetamol in the closure of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm neonates & #8211; A randomized controlled trial
Conclusion:
Our study shows that IV paracetamol is as effective as indomethacin and ibuprofen in promoting the closure of hs-PDA in premature infants with a better safety profile. (Source: Annals of Pediatric Cardiology)

Mechanism of the right ventricular reverse remodeling after balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in patients with congenital pulmonary stenosis: A three-dimensional echocardiographic study
Conclusions: There are several factors that interplay together and result in reverse remodeling of the RV after BPV including regression in the RV hypertrophy; changes in the interventricular septal morphology, bowing, and mobility; and changes in the ventricular geometry and dimensions, rather than changes in the ventricular volumes.

Comparison of computed tomography angiography versus cardiac catheterization for preoperative evaluation of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries in pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect
Conclusion: CTA and catheterization are equivalent in their ability to delineate pulmonary artery anatomy and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. (Source: Annals of Pediatric Cardiology)
