Abstract Congenital atrial septal defect (ASD) with severe scoliosis is a rare compound malformation in children. Severe scoliosis should be corrected as soon as possible. The growth rod is suitable for patients with early scoliosis and obvious scoliosis under 10 years old. However, the fluoroscopic radiopaque of titanium alloy plate will inevitably partly make the operative field of interventional occlusion blind. We present a 7-year-old Chinese girl with ASD and scoliosis who underwent spinal correction with a dual-growth rod. In this case, we performed transcatheter closure of ASD solely under the guidance of transthoracic echocardiography. Transthoracic More >

Abstract Background: The role of CTR from the chest radiograph for assessment of ventricular enlargement and function in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is conflicting. This study aimed to determine the associations between CTR and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived ventricular volumes and indices of ventricular function in adolescents and young adults with repaired TOF. Methods: The CTR and CMR findings, performed within 12 months of each other, were reviewed in 76 patients aged 22.1 ± 6.4 years. Associations between CTR and CMR parameters including right RV and left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction were determined.… More >
