Transcatheter Ventricular Septal Defect Closure with Lifetech ™ Konar-MF Occluder in Infants Under 10 kg with Only Using Venous Access
AbstractTranscatheter closure of VSD remains a complex procedure in infants with technical challenges and carries the risk of significant complications, due to its complex anatomical morphology and closed proximity to the atrioventricular valves and the conduction system. In this article, we presented transcatheter VSD closure in infants under 10 kg using the Lifetech Konar-MF device via only venous route without TEE guidance and arterial access. Between January 2021 and May 2023, a total of 34 patients weighing less than 10 kg who underwent transcatheter VSD closure antegradely with Lifetech™ Konar-Multifunctional (M...

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Preadolescence, Mitral Valve Disease, and Midventricular Obstruction
Septal myectomy is indicated in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who have persistent symptoms despite medical therapy, intolerance of medication side effects, or severe resting or provocable gradients. Septal myectomy at high volume centers is safe, with low operative mortality (1%) and low rates of complications such as complete heart block or ventricular septal defect (3% and 0.5%, respectively). Additionally, improved survival following myectomy has been observed when compared to patients with obstructive HCM managed medically or those with nonobstructive HCM.

How should preoperative examinations be chosen for infants with a ventricular septal defect: transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac CTA, or a combination of these two technologies?
To evaluate the accuracy of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) in detecting the size and location of ventricular septal defects (VSD) in infants. (Source: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders)

The impact of pediatric congenital heart disease on primary teeth structure: a histological study
Conclusions: CHD can alter the natural structure formation of primary teeth. Histologically, enamel, dentin, and odontoblasts layer thickness reduction are found in primary teeth in children with ventricular septal defects.PMID:38054687 | DOI:10.23750/abm.v94i6.14567 (Source: Acta Bio-Medica : Atenei Parmensis)
