Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric viral myocarditis.
Daniel S. Levi,Juan C. Alejos +1 more
TL;DR: The ability to implement mechanical support in children as a bridge to transplant or recovery, even in children presenting in the final stages of their disease, has led to an improved outcome regarding morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bubble contrast echocardiography in detecting pulmonary arteriovenous shunting in children with univentricular heart after cavopulmonary anastomosis
Ruey-Kang R. Chang,Juan C. Alejos,David E. Atkinson,Richard d'A Jensen,Stacey Drant,Alvaro Galindo,Hillel Laks +6 more
TL;DR: Bubble contrast echocardiography is more sensitive in detecting PAVM compared with pulmonary angiography, and the prevalence of PAVM in patients with CPA may be much higher than what had been reported previously.
Journal Article
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for cardiac support in pediatric patients.
U. Mehta,Hillel Laks,A. Sadeghi,Daniel Marelli,J. Odim,Juan C. Alejos,M. Kim,J. B. Atkinson,K. C. Bui +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ECMO as a bridge to cardiac transplant was more successful than ECMO support after cardiotomy, and Mediastinal bleeding and renal failure were associated with poor outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of children supported with devices labeled as "temporary" or short term: A report from the Pediatric Interagency Registry for Mechanical Circulatory Support.
Angela Lorts,Pirooz Eghtesady,Mary Mehegan,Iki Adachi,Chet R. Villa,Ryan R. Davies,Jeffrey G. Gossett,Kirk R. Kanter,Juan C. Alejos,Devin Koehl,Ryan S. Cantor,David L.S. Morales +11 more
TL;DR: The use of "temporary" VADs resulted in a positive outcome (bridge to transplant, recovery durable device or alive) in 71% of patients in this multi-institutional, high-acuity, complex patient cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Humoral rejection in pediatric orthotopic heart transplantation.
Tim W. Casarez,Gregory Perens,Ryan J. Williams,Erin Kutay,Michael C. Fishbein,Elaine F. Reed,Juan C. Alejos,Daniel S. Levi +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with a pathologic diagnosis of HR have increased graft failure rates and overall mortality, and patients with congenital heart disease and positive cross-match results may be at increased risk for HR.
