The patient presented critically ill with septic shock and suprasystemic RV pressure. A high-risk surgical approach was averted through the endovascular exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm using a Gore VBX® balloon expandable covered stent, in addition to stenting of bilateral proximal branch pulmonary arteries to alleviate RV hypertension. This case underscores the multifactorial nature of RVOT pseudoaneurysm formation and the importance of a high index of suspicion for diagnosis.

This study evaluated the outcomes of a protocol-based venoarterial (VA) ECMO program following congenital heart surgeries.Methods and results: This was a retrospective review of 198 patients who underwent VA-ECMO after congenital cardiac surgeries at our institute between 2004 and 2023. Patients were divided into pre-ECMO protocol (2004-2017) and post-ECMO protocol (2018-2023) implementation. There were 107 patients in the preprotocol era and 91 in the postprotocol era. We compared weaning from ECMO and survival to hospital discharge between the two eras. An analysis of the factors influencing survival to hospital discharge was also done. ECMO was initiated through the central cannulation technique through median sternotomy in all patients. The median age and weight at initiation were 4 months (interquartile range [IQR] 1-33.5 months) and 4.4 kg (IQR 3.3-10.1 kg), respectively. The successful weaning of the ECMO (n = 67/91, 73.6%) and survival to discharge (n = 43/91, 47.3%) were higher in patients of the postprotocol era. However, it was not statistically significant. Higher risk adjustment for congenital heart surgery-1 >3 and acute kidney injury were independent predictors of poorer survival to hospital discharge.Conclusions: A protocol-based ECMO program may improve outcomes of successful weaning and survival to discharge in patients undergoing congenital cardiac surgeries.","PeriodicalId":8026,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pediatric Cardiology","volume":"17 3","pages":"180-187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11573194/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142674438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The non-restrictive types of APWs present at an early age and require early surgical correction. The transcatheter device closure in young infants pose significant challenges that include hemodynamic instability during arteriovenous loop formation and due to potential encroachment of the occlusive device on vital adjacent structures, and sizing of introducer sheaths and delivery systems. We report a successful transcatheter closure of an AP window in a 1.35 Kg preterm infant with heart failure requiring mechanical ventilation. To the best of our knowledge this is the smallest and youngest baby , wherein transcatheter device closure has been attempted for a non-restrictive aorto-pulmonary window. The procedure was done through a 4 French right femoral venous access, thus avoiding an arterial access. A 0.025 Terumo wire was maneuvered through the pulmonary artery across the APW without formation of an arteriovenous loop. The APW was successfully occluded with a Konar multi-functional device delivered via a 4-French delivery system. The baby could be successfully weaned off the ventilator and could be discharge. On 1 month follow up, baby was in good health and gaining adequate weight. Thus we conclude that careful selection of patients allows successful closure of APW, even in the smallest baby.","PeriodicalId":8026,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pediatric Cardiology","volume":"17 3","pages":"204-206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11573187/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142674751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is distinguished by synoviocyte hyperplasia and subcapsular fibrosis of the synovial capsule, which results in a shortage of lubricin production. The resulting lack of joint lubrication induces increased mechanical stress, causing progressive deformities that become evident with weight-bearing and heightened joint activity. Animal models with a lubricin gene knock-out display similar traits, underscoring the impact of mechanical stress on disrupting type II collagen on the articular surface. The gradual development of pericarditis and constriction often results in misdiagnosis as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis with cardiac involvement, but the defining feature remains the noninflammatory nature of the disease. Early recognition is pivotal, as interventions such as pericardiectomy and recombinant human lubricin hold promise for altering the disease's natural course. In our familial case of CACP, two siblings exhibited distinct phenotypic variations - one with fibrosis-dominant features and pericardial constriction and the other displaying synovial hyperplasia without pericardial involvement.","PeriodicalId":8026,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pediatric Cardiology","volume":"17 3","pages":"221-223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11573197/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142674481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
