Condition:
Mechanical Valve Replacement (MVR) in Infants and Children
Journal:
Pediatric cardiology
Treatment Used:
Supra-annular Mechanical Atrioventricular Valve Replacement with Polytetrafluoroethylene Graft
Number of Patients:
8
Published —
January 03, 2020
This study analyzed supra-annular mechanical valve replacement (MVR) outcomes in infants and children with small annulus and compared them with conventional annular mechanical valve replacement outcomes.
Condition:
Congenital Heart Disease
Journal:
Congenital heart disease
Treatment Used:
Cardiac Surgery
Number of Patients:
0
Published —
October 22, 2019
This study analyzed available data to determine how often atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) occurred after cardiac surgery (heart surgery) in adults with congenital heart disease (abnormality of the structure of the heart developed before birth). Other goals of the study were to determine risk factors that could predict the likelihood of the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) post-surgery and problems associated with its occurrence.
Condition:
Patients with End-Stage Complex Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) or Cardiomyopathy (CMP) Considered for Transplantation
Journal:
International journal of cardiology
Treatment Used:
Catheter ablation
Number of Patients:
5
Published —
October 13, 2019
This study reported experience using catheter ablation to treat recurrent arrhythmia in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) or cardiomyopathy (CMP) considered for transplantation.
Condition:
Mitral valve disease in infants
Journal:
The Annals of thoracic surgery
Treatment Used:
Mitral Valve Replacement Using a 15-mm Mechanical Valve
Number of Patients:
7
Published —
April 01, 2019
The study researched the safety and effectiveness of a mitral valve replacement using a 15-mm mechanical valve in infants with mitral valve disease.
Condition:
Post-Fontan Surgery
Journal:
Congenital heart disease
Treatment Used:
Pacemaker
Number of Patients:
599
Published —
March 19, 2019
This study examined the prevalence of and risk factors for pacemaker treatment in a consecutive national cohort of patients after Fontan surgery in Sweden.
Condition:

Treatment Used:
Sacubitril/Valsartan
Number of Patients:
5
Published —
January 29, 2019

Condition:
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) with Concomitant Mitral Valve Abnormalities
Journal:
The heart surgery forum
Treatment Used:
Surgery
Number of Patients:
26
Published —
January 04, 2019
This study analyzed the pathological characteristics of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart; HOCM) with concomitant mitral valve abnormalities and discussed the surgical treatment strategies.

Journal:
Indian heart journal
Treatment Used:
Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy
Number of Patients:
24
Published —
November 06, 2018
This study assessed maternal and fetal outcomes of women with severe mitral stenosis caused by rheumatic heart disease undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy before or during pregnancy.
Condition:

Journal:
Seminars in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
Treatment Used:
Right transverse axillary incision
Number of Patients:
358
Published —
February 25, 2018
