AEPC TEACHING COURSE INTERVENTIONAL CATHETERISATION
The AEPC interventional working group is pleased to announce the second
TEACHING COURSE in pediatric and congenital INTERVENTIONAL CARDIAC
CATHETERISATION, which will take place on 4-5 april 2008, in Milan (Italy).
Parma Intern. Echo Meeting ( June 25-26-27 , 2008 )
Don Hagler ( Mayo Clinic ), Steve Sanders ( H. Pediatrico Bambino Gesu’, Roma )
and myself ( Universita’ di Parma ) are glad and proud to present the next Edition of
the Parma Echo Meeting.
The concept of the fetus as a patient
The concept of the fetus as a patient should not be understood in terms of the independent moral status of the fetus, i.e., some feature(s) of the fetus that, independently of other entities e including the pregnant woman, the physician, and the state – generates obligations of others to it.
Aorto-ventricular tunnel
Aorto-ventricular tunnel is a congenital, extracardiac channel which connects the ascending aorta above the sinutubular junction to the cavity of the left, or (less commonly) right ventricle………………….>
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome(HLHS) refers to the abnormal development of the left-sided
cardiac structures, resulting in obstruction to blood flow from the left ventricular outflow tract. In
addition, the syndrome includes underdevelopment of the left ventricle, aorta, and aortic arch, as
well as mitral atresia or stenosis…………….>
Cantrell’s pentalogy
Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare congenital malformation
characterized by midline defects, resulting from
defective development in the septum transversum. The
constellation of findings includes deficiency of the
diaphragmatic pericardium, lower sternum, anterior
diaphragm, supraumbilical abdominal wall often
allowing an omphalocele as well as an intrapericardial
diaphragmatic hernia, and a cardiac lesion, most often
a ventricular septal defect. In severe cases, the
heart herniates through the diaphragmatic defect,
causing thoracoabdominal ectopia cordis. Other
associated congenital cardiac lesions may include an
atrial septal defect, pulmonary valve stenosis, tetralogy
of Fallot, dextrocardia, anomalous pulmonary venous
connection, tricuspid atresia, and truncus arteriosus.
Cardiac hemangioma during fetal life
Cardiac hemangioma during fetal life
The prevalence of cardiac tumors has been reported to be 0.05% in an autopsy study of infants only. Cardiac hemangioma in infancy is extremely rare and resection of these tumors after prenatal diagnosis has been rarely reported
FETAL AND NEONATAL PRESENTATION OF NON-COMPACTED VENTRICULAR
Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium (NCVM) is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by
numerous, prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses caused by arrest in myocardial embryogenesis.
This study reviews our experience with neonatal and fetal NCVM. In contrast to the past reports of fetal and
neonatal NCVM, all pts in this group improved, and survived infancy.
