Background Right ventricular (RV) volume and ejection fraction (RVEF) measurements are essential in the management of children with congenital heart disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the reference…
Purpose Cardiac MRI (CMR) is the key exam for Fallot patients but remains tricky. The CMR report should at least mention left and right ventricle end-diastole volumes (Vl and Vr),…
This study was to: 1) analyze impact of antenatal echocardiography, 2) assess pronostic factors of outcome, in neonates and infants with coarctation of aorta (COA). Methods Single-center analysis of clinical…
Background Screening for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) during fetal ultrasound (US) in a low-risk population is based on the great vessels asymmetry (GVA) with small aorta. Over the last…
Objectives Risk markers of cardiovascular events in children with Marfan syndrome remain little known. We assessed the prognostic value of aortic root Z-score in patients with Marfan syndrome diagnosed during…

Methods Retrospective single-centre analysis of long-term posttransplant outcome, with chart collection of clinical and paraclinical data [this study assessed the long-term outcome of heart (HTx) and heart-lung transplantation (HLTx) in…
Background Adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) constitute a growing population of individuals for whom a well-planned and well-executed “transition process” is essential. Transition program should include education about medical…
Objective Interventional catheterism can be an alternative to surgery for PDA closure. With the new device PDA ADO IISA, we evaluate feasibility and safety to close PDA in low birth…
Introduction Neuro-developmental impairment which follows management of complex congenital heart disease is a major issue. Balloon dilation is a frequent procedure, which can lead to brain injury. Whereas the pressure…
