Objective This study sets out to compare morbidity, mortality and reintervention rates after stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) versus modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) for ...

At the 2021 Pediatric and Congenital Interventional Cardiovascular Society Symposium, Shelby Kutty, Director of Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology at Johns Hopkins Medicine delivered the lecture, ...

Manual segmentation and removal of overlying structures: the right atrium (RA), right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT), the auricle of the left atrium (LA), and the diaphragm (A,B), thereby ...

We sought to investigate the left ventricular outflow tract diameter (LVOTd) as a source of inconsistencies, and to explore hypothetical alternatives for discrepancy improvement. Design Retrospective ...

1 Department of Ultrasound Medicine, Taihe Hospital ... When we performed a continuous scan to explore the origin of the left pulmonary artery, in the ventricular outflow tract section, we also ...

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance, leading to systemic venous hypertension and potential right heart ...

Four-chamber ultrasound view of the fetal heart, showing a diverticulum in the free wall of the left ventricle, measuring approximately 1.7 cm × 2.0 cm. LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle.

The prevalence and impact of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) is unknown. We aimed to determine whether RVD assessed by echocardiography in routine ...

This paper defends the thesis that the heart can also develop sports injuries at the ventricular level. We will elaborate on our hypothesis, originally put forward in 2003, that intense endurance ...

Defect in the septum separating the right and left ventricles is one of the most common cardiac anomalies associated with trisomy 21. Ultrasound image reproduced with permission from "Ventricular ...
