  • What have we learned in the last 20 years? A comparison of a modern era pediatric and congenital catheter ablation registry to previous pediatric ablation registries

    2019, Heart Rhythm
    Citation Excerpt :

    One example is the coordinated effort of the American College of Cardiology’s National Cardiac Data Registry (NCDR), which presently supports 10 registries with >2400 hospitals contributing data to aid in dissemination of evidence-based care, improvement of patient outcomes, and lowering of health care costs (https://cvquality.acc.org/NCDR-Home/registries). In pediatric cardiology alone, there are multiple efforts to improve outcomes, ranging from the Congenital Database of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons to PediMacs, the pediatric ventricular assist device registry.6,7 The development of the MAP-IT registry in 2014 allowed pediatric electrophysiologists an infrastructure to measure patient-centered outcomes and complications.2

  • Care of the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Patient-Part 2

    Citation Excerpt :

    Management of metabolic acidosis should target its underlying causes (Table 1). Postoperative multiorgan failure is the final common pathway for inadequate systemic perfusion, either prolonged or acute.300,301 At risk are children with preoperative end organ dysfunction; single-ventricle physiology after the Norwood operation; systemic or pulmonary ductal dependent lesions following a systemic-to-pulmonary or pulmonary-to-systemic shunt; TOF after complete repair with right ventricular dysfunction; TGA with pulmonary hypertension; anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery after repair with left ventricular dysfunction; failed single-ventricle palliation after heart transplantation; chromosomal abnormalities; and protracted postoperative arrhythmias related to an atrial reentry circuit (atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation), atrial automaticity (atrial ectopic tachycardia), junctional automaticity (accelerated junctional rhythm or JET), AV reentry, and ventricular arrhythmias.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Recently, computed tomography (CT) with reconstructed oblique sagittal imaging has been advocated as a better modality to calculate the McGoon ratio, given it is noninvasive and not operator-dependent as echocardiography.37 The Society of Thoracic Surgery Congenital Heart Surgery Committee, the European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery, and the European Congenital Heart Surgeons Foundation have collaborated to initiate and develop the International Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Projects.38,39 An updated nomenclature has been published.40
