Summary

Interventional therapy of congenital heart disease has come a long way since its inception, and made significant improvements in patient outcomes. Congenital defects receiving interventional therapy varies from simple lesions such as atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricle septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) to complex ones in some cases. The broaden of application field requires follow-up. At the same time, advancement of sophisticated theories, advanced techniques, and novel devices has brought “green” process, which is echocardiography guided, and degradable devices for the interventional therapy of congenital heart disease.  

 

In this Special Issue, we invite high-quality submissions of impressive cases, clinical studies, and state-of-art reviews on, but not limited to, the highlighted objectives.

    Abstract Background: Current guidelines for managing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) recommend a risk stratification approach. However, the applicability and accuracy of these strategies for PAH associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) require further validation. This study aims to validate the reliability and predictive accuracy of a simplified stratification strategy for PAH-CHD patients over a three-year follow-up. Additionally, new prognostic variables are identified and novel risk stratification methods are developed for assessing and managing PAH-CHD patients. Methods: This retrospective study included 126 PAH-CHD patients. Clinical and biochemical variables across risk groups were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher’s… More >
