Supra-annular mitral valve replacement in children

Kirk R. Kanter, Brian E. Kogon, Paul M. Kirshbom Emory University School of Medicine.United States Annals of Thoracic SurgeryAnn Thorac Surg 2011; 92: 2221-2227DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2011.06.023 AbstractBackground: Despite improved mitral repair techniques, some children need mitral valve replacement (MVR). Due to small annulus size, supra-annular MVR is useful.Methods: From 2003 to 2010, 15 children had 23 supra-annular MVRs. At

Transhepatic portal vein access for balloon dilation of right upper pulmonary vein stenosis following infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage repair

Aphrodite Tzifa, Irfan Ahmed, Eric Rosenthal Evelina Children’s Hospital and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital.United Kingdom Catheterization and Cardiovascular InterventionsCatheter Cardiovasc Interv 2011; 78: 698-701DOI: 10.1002/ccd.22906 AbstractTranshepatic cardiac catheterization is now a well-established alternative when conventional venous routes for cardiac access have failed. Some operators prefer this route even routinely, due to the direct access that
