Monitoração ecocardiográfica da atriosseptostomia com balão

Abstract

ObjectiveTo assess balloon atrial septostomy monitored with echocardiography.

Atriosseptostomia por cateter balão guiada pela ecocardiografia em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal

“…As our experience grew, we were able to give up the use of radioscopy and the bedside performance of this procedure became a routine at our service. The large numbers of patients presented in this study shows an effectiveness rate of 96.9% and a low rate of complications (2.0%), represented mainly by arrhythmias associated with the catheter manipulation and that have been previously reported by other authors 14,15 .…”

“…Following the initial experience of Serra et al 12 in 9 neonates, other national authors reported their experience 13,14 , with the most recent and largest of them being that of de Marchi et al 15 carried out at the Hospital of the School of Medicine of São José do Rio Preto, in 31 neonates with CHD with a low number of complications.…”

Balloon atrial septostomy for transposition of the great arteries: Safety and experience with the Z‐5 balloon catheter

“…Registered complications were of mechanical (e.g., balloon rupture), traumatic (e.g., cardiac damage), embolic (e.g., cerebral event), and electrophysiological (e.g., transient rhythm disorders or AV‐block) nature and were reported for all catheters. The Fogarty and Miller‐Edwards balloon catheters were related with an increased frequency of balloon ruptures, whereas the Z‐5 and Rashkind catheters were not associated with this problem 5,12–14 …”

Avaliação do consumo alimentar de crianças de 0 a 24 meses com cardiopatia congênita

“…Twenty per cent of these children develop heart failure (HF) in the first week of life, 18%, between the first and fourth week and 20% between one and twelve months 5 . The survival rate of children with certain congenital heart defects depends on the presence of a competent interatrial communication 7 .…”
