Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) with univentricular circulation to patients with the same heart defect but that has a biventricular circulation in regards to mortality, quality of life, comorbidity, cardiac function, and work capacity. The main questions the study aims to answer are: • Do mortality, quality of life, comorbidity, cardiac function, and work capacity differ between patients with PA-IVS who have univentricular and biventricular circulation? Participants will be asked to answer a Quality of Life questionnaire. The investigators will also inquire with all research subjects about their participation in a series of examinations (ergo-spirometry to assess work capacity, transthoracic echocardiogram and blood sampling to assess cardiac function and cardiac health).
The MASA Valve Early Feasibility Study (MVEFS) multi-site interventional clinical trial within the United States of America with each center following a common protocol.The objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and probable benefit of MASA Valve in the indicated subset of patients requiring Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Reconstruction (RVOTR). As an early feasibility study, the purpose is determine the feasibility of success of the device in order to gather early data towards a future pivotal study and/or regulatory clearance submission.
This clinical trial is studying the use of different levels of oxygen exposure during and after cardiopulmonary bypass in eligible infants to learn about its safety during heart surgery. In addition to having the various doses of oxygen, participants will also have blood samples, ultrasounds of the head, and brain wave patterns monitored. The hypotheses of this trial are: - that there will be no difference with regards to adverse events between the infants in the normoxia group compared to the infants in the standard of care group - there will be a significant difference in the measured partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) values between the two treatment groups. - the use of normoxia during cardiopulmonary bypass and in the immediate post-operative period will result in clinically significant decrease in oxidative stress as measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) after cardiac surgery
Neonatal patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) have changing physiology in the context of transitional period. Patients with CHD are at risk of low perfusion status or abnormal pulmonary blood flow. Near infrared spectroscopy has been used in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) to measure end-organ perfusion. The investigator plan on monitoring newborns with CHD admitted to the NICU with NIRS and echocardiography during the first week of life and correlate measures of perfusion from Dopplers to cerebral and renal NIRS.
The aim is to compare effective growth true hypoplastic pulmonary arteries using Right Ventricle Outflow Tract Reconstruction by femoral allogenic vein valve conduit and systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunts (modified Blalock-Taussig shunt)
Pulmonary artery rehabilitation procedure is done frequently in the catheterization suite for patients with pulmonary artery stenosis or small pulmonary arteries following surgical repair for patients with tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collaterals. Considering that the investigators' institution is a major center for treating these cases, the investigators wanted to do a retrospective review of the investigators' data to share the investigators' anesthetic management of these procedures.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Medtronic Freestyle porcine valve is effective over a long period of time when it is used to replace the valve that normally allows blood to flow from the right lower pumping chamber of the heart to the lungs.
OBJECTIVES: I. Identify latent hypoparathyroidism in normocalcemic adult survivors with repaired conotruncal cardiac defects, by evaluating parathyroid gland secretory function after induced hypocalcemia. II. Determine the relationship of parathyroid hormone secretion to microdeletions in the same region of chromosome 22q11 as found in patients with DiGeorge anomaly.
