Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients with PAIVS who underwent modi fi ed 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 fi brotic 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 before and after mRVoh. Results: No mortalities were observed during a median follow-up of 3 years (interquartile range: 1.3 – 4.7 years) of follow-up were noted. mRVoh was performed at a median age of 163.5 days (range: 21 – 560 days), including seven neonates and two infants (<60 days). During follow-up, the median TV annular z-score increased signi fi cantly from − 2.24 to − 1.15 before and after mRVoh ( p = 0.004). In ten patients with a prior history of percutaneous interventions for RV out fl ow tract (RVOT) widening at least 6 months before mRVoh, the TV annular z-score signi fi cantly changed during the period after mRVoh ( − 2.03 to − 1.61, p = 0.028) compared with the period before mRVoh ( − 2.51 → – 2.03, p = 0.575) after percutaneous intervention only. Conclusions: mRVoh in PAIVS patients was positively associated with TV annular growth, and it was more effective than percutaneous RVOT widening interventions without mRVoh.","PeriodicalId":10666,"journal":{"name":"Congenital Heart Disease","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69720285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, diagnosis on images is heavily depended on sonographers’ experience and the quantitative data are rarely studied. Objective: This study aimed to realize the prenatal diagnosis of AVSDs by analyzing the quantitative data on FE. Methods: One hundred and thirteen cardiac quantitative data was analyzed in 370 normal and 49 AVSDs fetuses retrospectively. The top six with the highest diagnostic accuracy rate were acquired according to the area under the curve (AUC), and the diagnostic value of six variables was analyzed. Results: Six parameters obtained on the four-chamber view (4CHV), including the atrial to ventricular length ratio in end-diastole (AVLR-ED), AVLR-ED combined with the atrial to ventricular length ratio in end-systole (AVLR-ES), quantile score (Q score) of AVLR-ED, Q score of AVLR-ES, Q score of ventricle length in end-diastole (VL-ED), and AVLR-ES, were the top six with the highest diagnostic value, and the AUC was 0.99 (95%CI 0.99–1.00), 0.99 (95%CI 0.99–1.00), 0.99 (95%CI 0.98–1.00), 0.95 (95%CI 0.91–0.99), 0.93 (95%CI 0.87–0.99), and 0.91 (95%CI 0.83–1.00), respectively. And within the 20% false positive rate, the diagnostic sensitivity was greater than 100%, 100%, 100%, 90%, 90%, and 88%, respectively. Conclusions: Six variables could be used for prenatal diagnosis of AVSDs. Among them, AVLR-ED and Q score of AVLR-ED, obtained on the 4CHV, were more convenient to acquire and had higher diagnostic accuracy.","PeriodicalId":10666,"journal":{"name":"Congenital Heart Disease","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69720573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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 fi rst 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 classi fi ed according to type of surgery: curative, reparative, or palliative. Living single was used as outcome measure, for offspring the outcome was having children or not. Results: Among women with CHD the rate of those living single was higher than among controls with the differences depending on disease complexity (curative: OR = 5.5; reparative: OR = 1.9; palliative: OR = 2.7). No statistically signi fi cant differences between patients and controls emerged in the male study population. With respect to children a marked difference emerged between women with CHD and controls. Among patients the odds of having children were lower than among controls (curative: OR = 0.3; reparative: OR = 0.3; palliative: OR = 0.2). The rate of patients with children with CHD (women: 5.6%; men: 4.9%) was higher than expected (1%) if compared with the general population.
