Journal ArticleDOI
Complete heart block associated with device closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects.
TL;DR: Device closure of large perimembranous ventricular septal defects in infants and children with the Amplatzer Membranized VSD Occluder resulted in excellent closure rates but an unacceptably high rate of complete heart block.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical outcomes, program evolution, and pulmonary artery growth in single ventricle palliation using hybrid and Norwood palliative strategies.
Osami Honjo,Lee N. Benson,Holly E. Mewhort,Dragos Predescu,Helen Holtby,Glen S. Van Arsdell,Christopher A. Caldarone +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared hybrid strategies for single ventricle palliation in terms of anatomic and physiologic growth stimuli to the pulmonary arteries (PA), hemodynamics, resource utilization, and survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated array of microfluidic oxygenators as a neonatal lung assist device: in vitro characterization and in vivo demonstration.

TL;DR: A LAD prototype is presented that is designed to accommodate the different needs of term and preterm infants by permitting changing of the number of parallel-stacked microfluidic SOUs according to the actual body weight by testing the flow characteristics and gas exchange properties in vitro and under in vivo.
Journal Article
Clinical and therapeutic considerations of GIST.
TL;DR: The neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy indications guided and depending on genetic analysis included in the diagnostic and treatment algorithm as well as the strategy for cases surveillance are listed in the journal.
Journal Article
The vascularization pattern of the colon and surgical decision in esophageal reconstruction with colon. A selective SMA and IMA arteriographic study.
TL;DR: Due to the need for good mobilization, arterial ligations should be adjusted and modified depending on the particular vascular distribution, to maintain a sufficient blood flow in the marginal artery, in order to reach the colic sections and the straight arteries near them.
