Predictive value of presuperior cavopulmonary anastomosis cardiac catheterization at increased altitude
ConclusionsOur data indicate that decreased ventricular function most strongly predicts failure to reach Fontan palliation. Additionally, mPAP and PVRi play an important role in determining outcomes at increased altitude. Prolonged hospitalization is likely a marker of increased medical complexity or more problematic physiology. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)

Optimizing patient care and outcomes through the congenital heart center of the 21st century
Abstract
Pediatric cardiovascular services are responding to the dynamic changes in the medical environment, including the business of medicine. The opportunity to advance our pediatric cardiology field through collaboration is now realized, permitting us to define meaningful quality metrics and establish national benchmarks through multicenter efforts. In March 2016, the American College of Cardiology hosted the first Adult Congenital/Pediatric Cardiology Section Congenital Heart Community Day. This was an open participation meeting for clinicians, administrators, patients/parents to propose metrics that optimize patient ...

Clinical outcomes of percutaneous or surgical closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm
ConclusionsPC is a safe alternative to surgical repair for patients with isolated RSVA. Surgical repair is more suitable for those who have multiple cardiac lesions requiring surgical treatment or failed PC. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)

Analysis of DICER1 in familial and sporadic cases of transposition of the great arteries
ConclusionsHere, we report that neither likely pathogenic nor pathogenic variants in DICER1 appear to play a major role in transposition of the great arteries. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)
