Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical outcome of 193 extracardiac Fontan patients: the first 15 years.
Salvatore Giannico,Fatma Hammad,Antonio Amodeo,Guido Michielon,Fabrizio Drago,Attilio Turchetta,Roberto M. Di Donato,Stephen P. Sanders +7 more
TL;DR: After 15 years of follow-up, the overall survival, the functional status, and the cardiopulmonary performance of survivors of the extracardiac Fontan procedure compare favorably with other series of patients who underwent the lateral tunnel approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of outcome after surgical treatment of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries.
Adriano Carotti,Sonia B. Albanese,Sergio Filippelli,Lucilla Ravà,Paolo Guccione,Giacomo Pongiglione,Roberto M. Di Donato +6 more
TL;DR: The results of surgery were satisfactory and durable, despite the need for repeated percutaneous or surgical reinterventions, and chromosome 22q11 deletion remained an independent variable affecting survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association (ECHSA) multicentric study was conducted to evaluate the surgical results of scimitar syndrome and the efficacy of repair at follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic syndromes and outcome after surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot.
Guido Michielon,Bruno Marino,Roberto Formigari,Gaetano Gargiulo,Fernando M. Picchio,Maria Cristina Digilio,Silvia Anaclerio,Gianluca Oricchio,Stephen P. Sanders,Roberto M. Di Donato +9 more
TL;DR: Pulmonary arborization defects and genetic syndromes other than del22q11 or trisomy 21, are associated with worse outcome after correction of TOF, with no additional risk for mortality and higher freedom from reintervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac defects and results of cardiac surgery in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
Adriano Carotti,Maria Cristina Digilio,Gerardo Piacentini,Claudia Saffirio,Roberto M. Di Donato,Bruno Marino +5 more
TL;DR: The complex cardiovascular anatomy in association with depressed immunological status, pulmonary vascular reactivity, neonatal hypocalcemia, bronchomalacia and broncospasm, laryngeal web, and tendency to airway bleeding must be considered at the time of diagnosis and surgical procedure.
