Predictors of inadequate initial echocardiography in suspected Kawasaki disease: Criteria for sedation
ConclusionsPatients ≤ 2.0 years or ≤ 10.0 kg or those recently receiving antipyretics, potentially a surrogate for irritability, were associated with diagnostically inadequate transthoracic echocardiography during the inpatient workup of Kawasaki disease. These factors should be considered when deciding which patients to sedate for initial Kawasaki disease transthoracic echocardiography. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)

Preoperative echocardiographic measures in interrupted aortic arch: Which ones best predict surgical approach and outcome?
ConclusionsNeonates with IAA and an aortic root z‐score less than −2.5 have lower odds of subsequent reoperations with a Yasui operation compared to a primary repair over the follow up period. These findings suggest a Yasui operation should be considered if the preoperative aortic root z‐score is less than −2.5. Careful evaluation of these morphologic predictors on preoperative echocardiograms can be helpful in surgical planning in neonates with IAA. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)
