Congenital: Cardiomyopathy
Effects of pulmonary artery banding in doxorubicin-induced left ventricular cardiomyopathy
Central pulmonary banding has been proposed as a novel alternative for the treatment of left ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy in children. We sought to investigate the effects of central pulmonary banding in an experimental model of doxorubicin-induced left ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy.Long-term results of the modified Konno procedure in high-risk children with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Transaortic septal myectomy is the gold standard surgery in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but it is not optimal for children aged less than 5 years and with right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We evaluated outcomes with the modified Konno procedure in children with severe forms of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
