1. Monitoração ecocardiográfica da atriosseptostomia com balão
Objective: Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) is a life-saving palliative procedure for some congenital heart defects and typically performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The aim of this study was to evaluate BAS under echocardiographic guidance. Method: From August 1997 through January 2004, 31 children with congenital heart defects with indicati

2. Balloon atrial septostomy under two dimensional echocardiographic control.
Two dimensional echocardiography has been used to guide balloon atrial septostomy in five cases of transposition of the great arteries. A single lumen balloon catheter was used. The catheter can be accurately located within the left atrium before inflation of the balloon, thus avoiding some of the traumatic accidents possible during septostomy. The balloon c

3. Fate of infants with transposition of the great arteries in relation to balloon atrial septostomy.
The palliation afforded by balloon atrial septostomy to 124 infants with transposition of the great arteries was assessed in terms of survival to 6 months of age without the need for further intervention. Prediction of success or failure in relation to palliation was significantly affected by the presence of associated ventricular septal defect, left ventric

4. Factors influencing survival after balloon atrial septostomy for complete transposition of great arteries.
Despite balloon atrial septostomy within the first days of life, some patients with complete transposition of the great arteries die before reaching elective definitive surgery in the second six months of life. To discover why, we analysed the fate of 144 patients who had balloon atrial septostomy after 1966, using a modified logrank survival test with multi

5. Use of prostaglandin E2 in management of transposition of great arteries before balloon atrial septostomy.
Fifteen infants with transposition of the great arteries and severe hypoxaemia were treated with prostaglandin E2 infusions before atrial septostomy was performed. Twelve patients had simple transposition and three had small ventricular septal defects. The infusion resulted in a highly significant increase of PaO2 from 22 +/- 3 mmHg to 37 +/- 5 mmHg within o

6. Balloon atrial septostomy under echocardiographic control: six years' experience and evaluation of the practicability of cannulation via the umbilical vein.
Balloon atrial septostomy was undertaken under cross sectional echocardiographic control in 63 consecutive infants: in no case was fluoroscopic imaging required. The procedure was performed in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory, ward side room, or at the bedside in the neonatal intensive care unit. Catheterisation via the umbilical vein was attempted in

7. Balloon atrial septostomy in the neonatal intensive care unit.
In eight infants with complete transposition of the great arteries balloon atrial septostomy was performed in the neonatal intensive care unit solely under cross sectional echocardiographic control. One infant developed necrotising enterocolitis; otherwise there were no complications. This technique eliminates the need for radiographic screening during the p
