Cardiopulmonary exercise test variations in patients with a Fontan circulation: impact of fenestration patency and associations with clinical outcomes Open
Background Patients with single-ventricle physiology are often palliated with the Fontan operation, which may involve the creation of a fenestration. We aimed to evaluate differences in cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) performance betw…

Human Stem Cell–Derived Cardiomyocytes Integrate Into the Heart of Monkeys With Right Ventricular Pressure Overload Open
Cardiac ventricular pressure overload affects patients with congenital heart defects and can cause cardiac insufficiency. Grafts of stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes are proposed as a complementary treatment to surgical repair of the cardia…

Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Successfully Implanted via Transjugular Approach Open
The Harmony transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) (Medtronic) was developed to address the extensive variability of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anatomy in patients with significant pulmonary valve regurgitation. The valve has demo…

Loss of Ventricular Function After Bidirectional Cavopulmonary Connection: Who Is at Risk? Open
Decline of single ventricle systolic function after bidirectional cavopulmonary connection (BDCPC) is thought to be a transient phenomenon. We analyzed ventricular function after BDCPC according to ventricular morphology and correlated thi…

Fontan Failure Secondary to Charcot-Marie-Tooth–Induced Phrenic Neuropathy Open
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease comprises a vast array of defects in myelin integrity that causes progressive peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy. It is the most prevalent inherited peripheral neuropathy, and it can affect the management of coe…

The Fontan extracardiac conduit: one size does not fit all Open
The size of all components of the Fontan circuit need to be adequate in order to produce sustainable palliation for patients with functional single ventricle physiology. It is well established that patients with undersized pulmonary arteri…

Ultrasound guided percutaneous common carotid artery access in piglets for intracoronary stem cell infusion Open
In pigs, the deep location of the common carotid artery and overlying sternomastoideus muscle in the neck has led to the recommendation for a surgical cutdown for common carotid access, as opposed to minimally invasive techniques for vascu…

Neonatal Ebstein repair—where are we now? Open
Ebstein anomaly is a cardiomyopathy characterized by arrested delamination of the tricuspid valve leaflets. This results in displacement of the hinge points of the leaflets into the right ventricle (RV) cavity. The right ventricular myocar…
