The objective of the study was to describe the efficacy and mid-term follow-up of transcatheter closure of PmVSD using KONAR-MF™. The study was conducted prospectively in 3 Indian centers (January 2018-December 2022). PmVSD closure was done by both antegrade and retrograde methods, and patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12 months, and annually after that. 121 out of 123 patients were included with the following characteristics: median age 4.4 (0.18-40) years; weight 15 (2.1-88) kg; mean Qp/Qs ratio 1.87 ± 0.52 and pulmonary artery mean pressure: 22 ± 6.9 mmHg. The procedure was successful in all but 3; the device was removed due to significant residual shunt (n = 2) and new development of aortic regurgitation (AR) (≥ mild) in 1. The median defect size was 5.2 (2.5-12) mm. Device sizes from 6/4 to 14/12 were deployed (median fluoroscopy time 13.3 min; range 3.6-47.8). Shunt occlusion rates were 90%-Immediate, 95%-pre-discharge, and 97%-1 month, with no instances of complete heart block after the procedure and during follow-up. Six had new onset AR (mild: 2, trivial 4), and one had increased tricuspid regurgitation. All patients were well during follow-up (median: 20 months; range: 6-46).

We retrospectively performed echocardiographic measurements paired to cMRI within 3 months in patients with ≥ mild PR from 2009 to 2022.

A novel ML model for echocardiographic quantification of PRF outperforms prior studies and has comparable overall accuracy to clinicians.

Indolent KD, characterized by spontaneous fever resolution without early intervention, poses diagnostic challenges as patients may not initially meet the complete diagnostic criteria, delaying treatment and increasing the risk of CAL development. We report a case of a 17-month-old boy with indolent KD who developed CAL on the 18th day of illness, necessitating IVIG therapy. Despite initial symptom resolution, echocardiographic monitoring revealed delayed coronary artery involvement, underscoring the importance of proactive imaging. This case highlights the need for frequent echocardiographic evaluation in indolent KD, particularly when clinical and laboratory findings are inconclusive. Serial imaging facilitates early detection of CALs, enabling timely IVIG therapy and potentially preventing disease progression. A structured follow-up strategy is crucial in managing indolent KD to reduce the risk of long-term cardiovascular complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":19814,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143720880","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}
