    Adhesion and Implementation of a Cardiac Coherence Program to Reduce Anxiety in Patients with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis before Surgery: a Randomized Pilot Study

    Adhésion et implémentation d’un programme de cohérence cardiaque visant à réduire l’anxiété de patients opérés pour une carcinose péritonéale : étude pilote randomisée

    E. Guerdoux, L. Coutant, M. Del Rio, S. Gourgou, F. Quenet, G. Ninot

    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.16, No.1, pp. 192-198, 2022, DOI:10.3166/pson-2022-0177

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the implementation of a daily practice using cardiac coherence in patients with peritoneal carcinosis who underwent surgery.
    Materials and methods: Open, single-centre, controlled, randomized, and non-comparative phase II study, including 20 control patients versus 40 patients trained with biofeedback to use a breathing guide that will record their autonomous practice at home.
    Expected results: Successful adhesion of this nonpharmacological intervention before and after surgery, which may characterize parameters in favor of its implementation and evaluation of its impact on anxiety.
    Perspectives: Efficacy should then be assessed to transfer this supportive care to other patients.

    Abstract Background: Persistent patent ductus arteriosus (pPDA) is a common condition in preterm infants. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of transcatheter closure (TC) when compared to surgical ligation (SL) in preterm infants with pPDA. Methods: A literature search of Ovid Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, Epub, Scopus, PMC Preprints, and was conducted from inception to May 06, 2022. Eligible studies reported infants diagnosed with pPDA born at ≤2000 g birth weight or at ≤37 weeks’ who underwent TC or SL as treatment. This review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022325944). Results: From 97 studies screened, 8 studies met the… More >

    Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Low-Weight or Preterm Neonates: A Retrospective Study Analyzing Early Outcome

    Alain J. Poncelet1,*, Maureen Peers de Nieuwburgh2, Stéphane Moniotte2, Geoffroy de Beco1, Karlien Carbonez2, Jean E. Rubay1, Thierry Detaille3, Laurent Houtekie3, Mona Momeni4

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

    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 multivariable analysis were used… More >

    “Treat-Repair-Treat”: Management of Left Main Coronary Compression by a Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Atrial Septal Defect and Significant Pulmonary Hypertension

    Andrei George Iosifescu1,2,*, Roxana Enache1,3, Ioana Marinică4, Corina Radu2, Vlad Anton Iliescu1,2

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 67-72, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.026598

    Abstract Left main coronary compression syndrome (LMCS) may complicate pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAA), usually developed in the context of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We report the case of a 51-year-old female patient with an atrial septal defect (unsuitable for device closure) complicated by a PAA generating a 90% left main stenosis. The significant PAH held us back from immediate surgery. After specific dual PAH-targeted therapy (sildenafil and bosentan), the atrial septal defect could be closed with a unidirectional valved patch; the PAA-induced LMCS was treated by reductive arterioplasty. The postoperative course was uneventful. Follow-up showed clinical improvement, but PAH treatment was… More > Graphic Abstract

    Pentalogy of Cantrell with Pentalogy of Fallot and Left Ventricular Diverticulum

    Weimin Zhang, Zheng Liu, Tao Zhu, Qiang Huo*

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 73-78, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.026404

    Abstract Pentalogy of Cantrell is a congenital anomaly characterized by a combination of birth defects involving the sternum, diaphragm, pericardium, abdominal wall, and heart. Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare anomaly with high mortality. This paper describes the treatment of a 9-month-old girl with pentalogy of Cantrell, pentalogy of Fallot, and left ventricular diverticulum. The patient is alive and well 13 years after surgery.

    Preoperative Fasting of More Than 14 Hours Increases the Risk of Time-to-Death after Cardiothoracic Surgery in Children: A Retrospective Cohort Study

    Laortip Rattanapittayaporn, Maliwan Oofuvong*, Jutarat Tanasansuttiporn, Thavat Chanchayanon

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 23-39, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.026026

    Abstract Background: Prolonged preoperative fasting can cause hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and intravascular volume depletion in children. We aimed to examine whether prolonged preoperative fasting is associated with in-hospital mortality and other morbidities in pediatric cardiothoracic surgery. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included children aged 0–3 years who underwent cardiac surgery between July 2014 and October 2020. The patient demographic data, surgery-related and anesthesia-related factors, and postoperative outcomes, including hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, sepsis, length of intensive care unit stay, and in-hospital mortality, were recorded. The main exposure and outcome variables were prolonged fasting and time-to-death after surgery, respectively. The associations between prolonged fasting and… More > Graphic Abstract

    Jae Hee Seol1,4,#, Se Yong Jung1,#, Jae Young Choi1, Han Ki Park2, Young Hwan Park2, Nam Kyun Kim1,3,*

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.17, No.5, pp. 569-578, 2022, DOI:10.32604/chd.2022.018436

    Abstract Objective: Junctional ectopic tachycardia is common after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease. However, its incidence and related risk factors in infants after cardiac surgery are not well known. The objective of this study was to determine the overall incidence and related risk factors for junctional ectopic tachycardia in neonates and infants. Methods: We enrolled a total of 271 patients aged <1 year who underwent open cardiac surgery at Severance Cardiovascular Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020. Exclusion criteria were immediate postoperative mortality, other arrhythmias detected in the perioperative period, and prematurity. Result: The overall incidence of junctional ectopic… More >

    Amassing the Security: An Enhanced Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for Remote Surgery in Healthcare Environment

    Tsu-Yang Wu1, Qian Meng1, Lei Yang1, Saru Kumari2, Matin Pirouz3,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.134, No.1, pp. 317-341, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.019595

    Abstract The development of the Internet of Things has facilitated the rapid development of various industries. With the improvement in people’s living standards, people’s health requirements are steadily improving. However, owing to the scarcity of medical and health care resources in some areas, the demand for remote surgery has gradually increased. In this paper, we investigate remote surgery in the healthcare environment. Surgeons can operate robotic arms to perform remote surgery for patients, which substantially facilitates successful surgeries and saves lives. Recently, Kamil et al. proposed a secure protocol for surgery in the healthcare environment. However, after cryptanalyzing their protocol, we… More >

    Multimodal Imaging with 3D-Holograms for Preoperative Planning in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Unique Case Report

    Federica Caldaroni1, Massimo Chessa2, Alessandro Varrica1, Alessandro Giamberti1,*

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.17, No.4, pp. 491-494, 2022, DOI:10.32604/chd.2022.019119

    Abstract Multimodal imaging, including augmented or mixed reality, transforms the physicians’ interaction with clinical imaging, allowing more accurate data interpretation, better spatial resolution, and depth perception of the patient’s anatomy. We successfully overlay 3D holographic visualization to magnetic resonance imaging images for preoperative decision making of a complex case of cardiac tumour in a 7-year-old girl. More >
