    A New Three-Dimensional (3D) Printing Prepress Algorithm for Simulation of Planned Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease

    Vitaliy Suvorov1,2,*, Olga Loboda2, Maria Balakina1, Igor Kulczycki2

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.5, pp. 491-505, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.030583 - 10 November 2023

    Abstract Background: Three-dimensional printing technology may become a key factor in transforming clinical practice and in significant improvement of treatment outcomes. The introduction of this technique into pediatric cardiac surgery will allow us to study features of the anatomy and spatial relations of a defect and to simulate the optimal surgical repair on a printed model in every individual case. Methods: We performed the prospective cohort study which included 29 children with congenital heart defects. The hearts and the great vessels were modeled and printed out. Measurements of the same cardiac areas were taken in the… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract Background: In congenital heart disease (CHD) patients, detailed three-dimensional anatomy depiction plays a pivotal role for diagnosis and therapeutical decision making. Hence, the present study investigated the applicability of an advanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) whole heart imaging approach utilizing nonselective excitation and compressed sensing for anatomical assessment and interventional guidance of CHD patients in comparison to conventional dynamic CMR angiography. Methods: 86 consecutive pediatric patients and adults with congenital heart disease (age, 1 to 74 years; mean, 35 years) underwent CMR imaging including a free-breathing, ECG-triggered 3D nonselective SSFP whole heart acquisition using compressed… More >

    Abstract Objectives: To examine whether patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are less likely to have a partner or children than individuals from the general population. Methods: Longitudinal study with two assessments of the same patients (n = 244) from a hospital population and controls (n = 238) from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) using parental education, patients age, and sex as matching criteria. The first patient study was conducted between 5/2003 and 6/2004, the second one between 5/2017 and 4/2019. Controls were drawn from GSOEP-surveys 2004 and 2018. CHD-severity was classified according to type of… More > Graphic Abstract

    Jae Gun Kwak1, Eung Re Kim2, Taeyoung Yun1, Sungkyu Cho1, Chang-Ha Lee2, Woong-Han Kim1,*

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.3, pp. 325-336, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.027758 - 09 June 2023

    Abstract Objectives: To access the effectiveness of our modified right-ventricular overhauling procedure on tricuspid valve (TV) growth in patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients with PAIVS who underwent modified right ventricular overhauling (mRVoh) between 2008 and 2019 at two institutions. Our mRVoh consisted of wide resection of hypertrophied infundibular and trabecular muscle, peeling off fibrotic endocardial tissue in the right ventricle (RV) cavity, surgical pulmonary valvotomy, and Blalock-Taussig shunt or banding of ductus arteriosus under cardiopulmonary bypass. The TV annulus sizes were measured and analyzed using echocardiography… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract Background: Women with congenital heart disease (CHD) have increased risk for adverse events during pregnancy and delivery. Prior studies have assessed pregnancy and delivery outcomes at tertiary referral centers (TRC). The aim of our study was to assess pregnancy outcomes in women with CHD who deliver in a non-tertiary referral center (non-TRC). Methods: Clinical demographics were collected, including anatomic complexity, physiologic state and pre-pregnancy risk assessment. Patients were stratified by delivery location, either TRC or non-TRC. Maternal and neonatal complications of pregnancy were reported. Results: Women with CHD who delivered in a TRC had a higher… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract Background: The Venus-P valve was the first self-expanding valve used world-wide for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) in patients with severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR). We intended to report the extended follow-up results from the prospective trial (No. NCT02590679). Methods: A total of 38 patients with severe PR (mean age 24.2 ± 13.2) were included. Follow-up data were obtained after implanted at 1, 6, and 12 months and yearly after. The frame geometry was assessed on post-implant computer tomography (CT) scanning by calculating the non-circularity [circularity ratio (minimum diameter/maximum diameter) < 0.9] and under-expansion [expansion ratio (derived external valve… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in school-age children, to identify the extent to which altitude affects the prevalence of the disease, and to examine trends in prevalence over time in China. Methods: Seven databases were systematically searched and last retrieved on September 10, 2021 for all studies reporting the prevalence of CHD in children after 1970 in China, which were then divided into high and low altitude regions based on 2500 meters above sea level. The random-effected model was used to combine prevalence data and subgroups analysis. The baseline data of… More > Graphic Abstract

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.2, pp. 151-168, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.022636 - 15 March 2023

    Abstract Background: Most outcome studies in congenital cardiac surgery for “low weight” neonates include patients undergoing surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The primary objective of our study was to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality in neonates weighing less than 3 Kg and undergoing surgery with CPB. In addition, we compared the effect of early surgery with CPB (before 37W-gestational age (GA)) for congenital heart disease to delayed surgery until a corrected GA of 37 weeks in an attempt to promote weight gain. Methods: Retrospective single-center study including all patients operated between 1997 and 2017. Uni- and… More >

    Abstract Background: Living well is as important as living longer. The objective of this study is to assess quality of life (QoL) in congenital heart disease (CHD) according to current AHA/ACC anatomical and physiological classifi- cation. Methods: Cross-sectional study examining the World Health Organization QoL Bref questionnaire (WHOQoL-Bref) in consecutive outpatient CHD patients from a single unit. Results: 191 CHD patients were studied. Median age was 28 ± 13 years and 59% were male. 44 (23%), 115 (60%) and 33 (17%) CHD patients showed mild, moderate and great anatomical defects respectively while 69 (36%) patients were in physiological… More >

    Abstract Aims: Evidence is emerging that, in the setting of isomerism, the atrial and bronchial arrangement are not always concordant, nor are these patterns always harmonious with the arrangement of the abdominal organs. We aimed to evaluate the concordance between these features in a cohort of patients with cardiac malformations in the setting of known isomerism, seeking to determine whether it was feasible to assess complexity on this basis, in this regard taking note of the potential value of bronchial as opposed to appendage morphology. Methods and Results: We studied 78 patients known to have isomerism of the… More > Graphic Abstract
