Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the security and validity of transesophageal echocardiography(TEE)-guided perventricular device closure(TPDC) through minithoracotomy in treatment of infundibular ventricular septal defect(IVSD) with asymmetric occluder.
The purpose of this study is to utilize cardiac imaging data acquired as part of the standard of care for these patients, such as MRI, 3D echo, and CT, and existing 3D reconstruction protocols to assess the feasibility of using surgical planning in the treatment of patients with complex cardiac defects. The specific aims of the project are as follows: 1. Develop a protocol to reconstruct heart models from patient imaging data and perform "virtual" surgery on reconstructed 3D anatomy using appropriate, pre-existing patient datasets. 2. Use the developed protocol to prospectively plan and evaluate the possible surgical options for new patients. 3. Validate that the optimal virtual anatomy agrees with what was surgically implemented using post-operative patient scans, when available.
This study will investigate Ebstein's anomaly, a congenital abnormality of the tricuspid valve of the heart and try to identify the genetic origins of the disease. Adults and children 2 years of age and older with Ebstein's anomaly and healthy volunteers may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo the following procedures: - Blood tests: Three tube of blood will be collected, with the total amount limited to about half a teaspon for each two pounds of body weight. - Saliva sample collection: A small amount of saliva is collected by spitting into a sterile container. - Oral (cheek) swab: Cells are collected from the mouth using a soft brush to swab the inside lining of the cheek. - Electrocardiogram: The electrical activity of the heart is recorded using electrodes placed on the chest. - Echocardiogram: Heart function is assessed using ultrasound.
