Staged treatment of a premature newborn with interrupted aortic arch and aorta-pulmonary window using intraoperative hybrid procedure before subsequent total correction & #8211; Long-term follow-up
Piotr Weryński, Agnieszka Malinowska-Weryńska, Agnieszka Wójcik, Jacek KołczAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(2):216-218
Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) associated with an aortopulmonary window (APW) is a rare cardiac malformation that needs an immediate diagnosis after birth and surgical treatment to avoid irreversible pulmonary lesions. Herein, we describe a case of successful staged treatment of premature neonate using many operative procedures. The first stage was stenting of patent ductus arteriosus with banding of pulmonary artery branches using a hybrid approach. A...

Duct stenting in an ELBW infant with aortic arch interruption
Andriana S Anagnostopoulou, Evangelos S Karanasios, Nicholaos G EleftherakisAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(2):203-205
Aortic arch interruption is a rare cardiac malformation. In some cases, it is part of a more complex congenital heart disease. Survival of extremely low birth weight infants with this cardiac disease is very rare. Surgical correction is the only treatment. Ductal stenting as a bridge procedure in small affected infants is a good alternative. (Source: Annals of Pediatric Cardiology)

Transcatheter management of aorto-right ventricular tunnel: A surprise in the catheterization laboratory
Muthusamy Kalyanasundaram, Abhishek Kasha, Sai Gopalakrishnan, Kaushik JothinathAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(2):199-202
Herein, we report successful device closure of aorto-right ventricular tunnel (ARVT) in a 2 year-old-boy presenting with recurrent respiratory tract infection and poor weight gain. He was initially diagnosed with coronary arteriovenous fistula after the clinical examination and echocardiogram. However, his cardiac catheterization revealed ARVT. Although most of the aorto-ventricular tunnels are managed by surgical intervention, we successfully managed our case with transcatheter intervention. (...

Evaluation of patients for potential compression of anomalous coronaries coursing behind the aortic root before device closure of secundum atrial septal defects
Zeeshan Ahmed Mumtaz, Kothandam SivakumarAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(2):195-198
Coronary arteries coursing behind the aortic root may get compressed when nitinol septal occluders are used to close an atrial septal defect. Hence, echocardiographic recognition of a retroaortic linear vessel is important during preinterventional evaluation. While the left circumflex arising from the right coronary artery is the most common cause, a similar finding is sometimes observed in a single left or right coronary artery and rarely with small sinus nodal branches from the left circumflex artery. Complex three-dimensional rel...

Percutaneous transhepatic and transseptal dilatation of a surgically implanted Melody & #174; Valve in the mitral position in a 2-year-old child
Leticia Albert De La Torre, Belen Toral Vázquez, Dolores Herrera Linde, Alberto Mendoza Soto, Enrique García TorresAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(2):183-186
The use of the Melody® (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) biological prosthesis in mitral position has shown acceptable short-term results. Furthermore, it allows its expansion with a balloon when the patient grows up, and this procedure can be performed by a venous catheterization through transseptal approach through an interatrial communication or puncturing the septum. Patients with complex congenital heart disease undergoing multip...

Unique challenges posed by a dysfunctional native right ventricular outflow tract for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation using SAPIEN-S3 valve
Kothandam Sivakumar, Ramyashri Chandrasekaran, Ziyad M HijaziAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(2):175-179
Dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracts after a repair for tetralogy of Fallot using a transannular patch offer limited nonsurgical opportunities due to their large dimensions. A discrete subannular narrowing between a dilated right ventricle and the enlarged pulmonary trunk was a potential anatomical target for the creation of a landing zone using a prestent in a young male with severe pulmonary regurgitation and moderate stenosis. Asymmetric expansion of the prestent in the angulated outflow tract led to...

How to do it ? Transcatheter correction of superior sinus venosus defects
Kothandam SivakumarAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(2):169-174
Superior sinus venosus defect is characterized by varying degrees of override of the atrial septum by the superior vena cava and anomalous right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV) drainage. The defect is seen posterosuperior to the oval fossa and is traditionally corrected by a surgical patch that routes the anomalously draining RUPV to the left atrium. A few postoperative patients develop stenosis or occlusion of the caval or pulmonary vein and/or sick sinus syndrome secondary to vascular injury. This has kindled a recent interest in nonsurgical correction of ...

Transcatheter management of combined patent ductus arteriosus and left pulmonary artery stenosis in congenital rubella syndrome: A series of three patients and an insight into case selection for intervention
Mahua Roy, Debasree Gangopadhyay, Noopur Goyel, Amitabha Chattopadhyay, Biswajit BandyopadhyayAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(2):164-168
Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is now the standard of care with some exceptions. Best treatment for peripheral pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis in small children is still debatable. Surgical augmentation, balloon dilatation, and stenting are the available options with each having its own risks and limitations. Here, we are reporting complete transcatheter management of three cases of congenital rubella syndrome who had PDA and left branch PA stenosis by devi...
