Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Adults and Adolescents With Congenital Heart Disease: A United Kingdom and Ireland Survey Open
Objectives Many models of bioprosthesis are available for pulmonary valve replacement in adults with congenital heart disease, but there is a lack of randomized evidence to guide practice. We surveyed congenital cardiac surgeons to establi…

An in silico journey of right ventricular growth and remodelling after pulmonary valve regurgitation Open
Digital twins of cardiac function are revolutionizing the management of heart diseases. Pulmonary valve regurgitation (PR), a common complication following repair of tetralogy of Fallot, can lead to detrimental effects on right ventricular…
A case report of reversible dilated cardiomyopathy due to left main coronary artery ostial stenosis: optimal imaging is key Open
Background Congenital coronary artery anomalies are a rare but reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in infants and children. Optimal imaging strategies to efficiently identify and confirm the diagnosis in the setting of extracorporea…
Comprehensive Review of Coronary Artery Anatomy Relevant to Cardiac Surgery Open
In order to perform safe cardiac surgery, a knowledge of applied coronary artery anatomy and its variants is essential for cardiac surgeons. In normal individuals, the right and the left coronary arteries arise from the corresponding sinus…
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in children and adolescents with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot Open
Introduction: By comparison with adults, cardiopulmonary exercise testing in children with Tetralogy of Fallot is limited, and its clinical application less validated. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive CPET profile in a child-ado…
Are aortic biomechanical properties early markers of dilatation in patients with Marfan Syndrome? – A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Open
Background Although the stiffness of tissue is known to play an important role in aortic dilatation, the current guidelines for offering a preventative aortic surgery in patients with Marfan syndrome rely solely on the aortic diameter. In …
Zoom and its Discontents: Group Decision Making in Pediatric Cardiology in the Time of COVID (and Beyond) Open
The emergence of Covid-19 has led to change within hospital-based healthcare. An example, has been to reconfigure clinical decision making meetings from traditional in-person (Face-to-face, FtF) to online video-conferencing (VC) format ino…
Fluid–structure interaction in a fully coupled three-dimensional mitral–atrium–pulmonary model Open
This paper aims to investigate detailed mechanical interactions between the pulmonary haemodynamics and left heart function in pathophysiological situations (e.g. atrial fibrillation and acute mitral regurgitation). This is achieved by dev…

Congenital arch malformation: a review of morphology and surgical management of circumflex aortic arch Open
Vessel Plus is an open acccess journal, which publishes articles related to vascular diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, aneurysm, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke, peripheral vascular or pulmonary vascular diseas…
Computation Of Blood Flow In The Pulmonary Bifurcation: Towards A More Effective Treatment For Adults With Congenital Heart Disease Open
Adults with congenital heart disease represent an increasing population of patients that require repeated surgical interventions, most commonly for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) and stenting [1]. Currently, the decision for treatment r…
Blood Flow Simulations In Models Of The Pulmonary Bifurcation To Facilitate Treatment Of Adults With Congenital Heart Disease Open
Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease, for which patients require surgical intervention at a very young age. Although these patients have long survival rates, they are at risk of chronic complicatio…
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pediatric cardiac surgery: A retrospective review of trends and outcomes in Scotland Open
Allcomers VA ECMO following pediatric cardiac surgery had survival to discharge rate of 44%. Elective "end-of-case" ECMO carries better survival rates and therefore ECMO instituted early maybe advantageous. Prolonged ECMO support has a dir…
Modelling mitral valvular dynamics–current trend and future directions Open
Dysfunction of mitral valve causes morbidity and premature mortality and remains a leading medical problem worldwide. Computational modelling aims to understand the biomechanics of human mitral valve and could lead to the development of ne…
Late gadolinium enhancement and adverse outcomes in a contemporary cohort of adult survivors of tetralogy of Fallot Open
Formal quantification of late gadolinium enhancement is not currently as helpful in ascertaining prognosis compared to other, more easily assessed parameters in a contemporary cohort of tetralogy of Fallot survivors, however assessment par…
