Congenital valvular pulmonary stenosis accounts for 5-10% of all congenital heart disease. Balloon valvuloplasty is a safe and effective method in reduction moderate to severe stenosis. This retrospective study done Hawler surgical specialty cardiac center on pediatric patients who had valve (with echocardiographic peak gradient 2:50mmHg) treated by balloon valvuloplasty. A total 178 cases were...

etralogy of Fallot with or without pulmonary atresia ccounts for approximately 10% of all forms of congenital eart disease. Establishing unobstructed blood flow between he right ventricle (RV) and the confluence of the pulmoary arteries using the transannular patch technique or via he insertion of an interposition graft valve between the RV nd pulmonary artery have been the main surgical option...

Objective: We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the clinical, demographic, clinical and echocardiographic findings of children diagnosed with chest deformity in pediatric cardiology clinic.
 Material Method: This study enrolled under age 18 years who were referred our unit, over a period six (January 2017-December 2022).
 Results: The mean patients was 9.9 ± 5.2 years, median 11 (0-18...

we report two cases of tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary valve bacterial endocarditis where one extended to the branch of pulmonary artery (pa). this is a rare occurrence. aggressive supportive care plus early and radical surgery can be life saving.

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty in the interim palliation of complex congenital heart disease and pulmonary stenosis in children, who often require numerous palliative operations before definitive surgical repair. METHODS Evaluation of pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty procedures performed over a five year period in 18 patients (age 8 days--29 years; mean 5.5 ye...

Congenital aortic stenosis is a relatively common disease. It is the one malformation predisposing to sudden death in children. Surgical attempts at correction of critical congenital aortic stenosis have been reported within recent years, but there are no large series with adequate longterm follow up of the post-operative course of children with aortic stenosis. The present report is based on o...

This report describes 30 patients under the age of 30 years with rheumatic aortic stenosis, presenting with combined aortic and mitral stenosis. Three patients had additional tricuspid stenosis. Twenty-eight patients gave a history of rheumatic polyarthritis. The diagnosis was confirmed by right and left heart catheterisation in all. The murmur of aortic stenosis was not initially present in 8 ...

The recent rapid development of cardiac surgery now demands accurate diagnosis of the rarer types of congenital heart disease; the exact anatomy of congenital valve stenosis, for example, must be determined. The occurrence of valvar, subvalvar, and supravalvar forms of either aortic or pulmonary stenosis is well known. With respect to congenital mitral stenosis, a rarer cardiac anomaly, we are ...

background pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah) is a serious complication of unrepaired congenital left-to-right shunts. the final consequence is right ventricular (rv) systolic dysfunction and reversal of shunt. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical course and paraclinical findings in a group of patients with pah associated with congenital heart disease (pah-chd). we a...
