1. Application of Mivacurium in Fast-Track Anesthesia for Transthoracic Device Closure of Ventricular Septal Defects in Children
Abstract Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of mivacurium in the application of fast-track anesthesia for transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in children. Methods: The data of 108 children who underwent transthoracic device closure of VSDs from December 2018 to June 2020 were recorded and a

2. Application of WeChat Platform in Midterm Clinical Follow-Up of Children Who Underwent Transthoracic Device Closure of VSD
Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and superiority of using the WeChat platform for midterm clinical follow-up of children who underwent transthoracic device closure for ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Methods: Ninety children with VSDs who underwent transthoracic device closure were divided into a WeChat

3. Successful Surgical Treatment of a Rare Case of Acute Isolated Right Ventricle Wall Rupture Caused by Distal Circumflex Coronary Artery Occlusion
Abstract We describe a rare case of isolated right ventricular inferior free-wall rupture and cardiogenic shock caused by occlusion of the distal left circumflex coronary artery. Our case highlights the central role of transthoracic echocardiography in identifying unexpected conditions that can guide management - in our case involving early surgical interven

4. Circumflex Coronary Artery Fistula Draining into Coronary Sinus
ABSTRACT Coronary artery fistula draining into the coronary sinus is a rare vascular malformation, and its diagnosis and clinical manifestations usually occur late. We describe the case of a 72-year-old female patient with dyspnea on exertion (New York Heart Association Class III) associated with palpitations. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed signific

5. Abnormalities of Cardiac Situs and Heart Disease Diagnosed by Echocardiography in Patients with Biliary Atresia
Abstract Background: Left isomerism (LI) is a common finding in patients with biliary atresia (BA), and it can be identified by echocardiography. Several comorbidities may be present in patients with LI, including heart disease. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of LI and heart disease in children (< 18 years of age) with BA followed-up at Hospital

6. Echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness and immature granulocyte are novel inflammatory predictors of acute ischemic stroke: a prospective study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the most common type of stroke. Inflammation is the primary factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Use of immature granulocytes (IGs) has been recommended as a new indicator of systemic inflammation. However, data on the association between echocardiographic epicardial fat tissue thickness (EFT) an

7. Serum Prealbumin: a potential predictor of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in patients receiving programmed hemodialysis
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Prealbumin has been a reliable marker to predict protein energy malnutrition and hypercatabolic state. In this analysis, we particularly aimed to investigate the potential association between serum prealbumin levels and right ventricular dysfunction in patients receiving programmed hemodialysis. METHODS: A total of 57 subjects were inclu

8. Left Ventricular Assist Device Thrombosis: Combined Approach by Echocardiography and Logfiles Review for Diagnosis and Management
ABSTRACT Introduction: Left ventricular assist devices are an established therapy for end-stage heart failure. Follow-up of these patients showed complications, such as thrombosis. Our objective was to evaluate the contribution of echocardiography — in association with HeartWare HVAD online logfiles reviews and lactate dehydrogenase titration — for diag

9. Preoperative Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain Identifies Aortic Stenosis Patients with Improved Postoperative Recovery of Left Ventricular Geometry: A Prospective Cohort Study
Abstract Introduction: The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is commonly used as a marker of aortic stenosis (AS) disease severity and to indicate surgical intervention. However, an LVEF <50% identifies mainly advanced disease. Hence, earlier detection of subclinical LV systolic dysfunction may improve clinical decision-making. The global longitudin

10. Importance of epicardial adipose tissue as a predictor of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Epicardial adipose tissue is a special form of visceral fat surrounding the heart. It is associated with cardiac and metabolic diseases. Epicardial adipose tissue is associated with risk factors for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes. In this study, we examined t

11. Hybrid Transthoracic Periventricular Device Closure of Ventricular Septal Defects: Single-Center Experience
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of hybrid transthoracic periventricular device closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in a single center. Methods: All patients who underwent hybrid transthoracic periventricular device closure of VSDs between January 2018 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The preoperative, operative and pos

12. Short-term outcome of Polytetrafluoroethylene Membrane Valve versus Transannular Pericardial patch Reconstruction of Right Ventricular Outflow Tract in Tetralogy of Fallot : a Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract Introduction: Reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract during primary repair of tetralogy of Fallot often requires the placement of a transannular patch which results in pulmonary regurgitation (PR). We compared the short-term outcomes of bicuspid polytetrafluoroethylene membrane valve versus transannular pericardial patch reconstruction o
