Optimizing Post-Extubation Management in Pediatric Patients with Congenital Heart Disease: A Retrospective Comparative Study of HFNC and NIPPV
Anno:
2025
After cardiac surgery or percutaneous procedures, pediatric patients often remain intubated upon arrival in the intensive care unit. Literature indicates that 3-27% of pediatric patients are not successfully extubated after cardiac surgery. Following extubation, non-invasive respiratory support methods such as High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) and Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation…
COR TRIATRIATUM SINISTER: A SILENT THREAT
Anno:
2025
We present the clinical case of a 22-year-old man practicing competitive sport (sprinter) who underwent an echocardiogram in asymptomatic condition.The patient appeared to be in good health. No previous medical history. No cardiovascular risk factors. Echocardiogram revealed good biventricular function and no valvular diseases; the left atrium appeared moderately…
ISOLATED DOUBLE-CHAMBERED RIGHT VENTRICLE IN A CHILD: A CASE REPORT
Anno:
2025
We present the case of a 7-year-old child who was suspected of having dilated/hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of the right ventricle (RV) based on prenatal ultrasound findings. He was admitted to our department at birth, where echocardiography revealed hypokinesia in the inferior and anterior walls of the RV, along with an…
AN INCIDENTAL FINDING OF UNROOFED CORONARY SINUS DURING ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL STUDY CONFIRMED BY CARDIAC TC. A CASE REPORT.
Anno:
2025
INTRODUCTION Unroofed coronary sinus is a rare congenital heart anomaly and the most unusual type of atrial septal defect with nonspecific clinical manifestations.  CASE REPORT A 73-year‐old woman presented to the Emergency Department for palpitations and chest pain. She had History of recurrent palpitations and a previous access to the Emergency Room with electrocardiogram (ECG) evidence…
PARADOXICAL CEREBRAL EMBOLISM IN TRANSPOSITION OF THE GREAT ARTERIES WITH MUSTARD PROCEDURE
Anno:
2025
BACKGROUND Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) is a cyanotic congenital heart defect characterized by an incorrect origin of the great arteries from the cardiac ventricles. Currently, the first-line surgical correction for TGA is the "arterial switch" procedure, which restores the correct positioning of the great arteries. This approach…
QUADRICUSPID AORTIC VALVE: A RARE CONDITION ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER CARDIAC DISEASES
Anno:
2025
INTRODUCTION: Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of four cusps of varying possible dimensions. In symptomatic cases, it typically presents with progressive valve insufficiency, sometimes requiring valve replacement. QAV can be associated with additional congenital heart defects, generally represented by coronary anomalies….
UNUSUAL ASSOCIATION OF HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH TRANSITIONAL ATRIOVENTRICULAR CANAL DEFECT AND DOWN SYNDROME: A CASE REPORT
Anno:
2025
We present a case of a 41-year-old patient with Down syndrome who was admitted to ED due to worsening dyspnea. Chest X-ray showed pulmonary congestion and an enlarged heart, while echocardiography revealed left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy without outflow obstruction, severe dilation of the right ventricle (RV), and an interatrial…
NEVER TAKE ANITHING FOR GRANTED: AN ANUSUAL CASE OF ISCHEMIA
Anno:
2025
Patient Overview: A 50-year-old female with no family history of cardiac disease, no cardiovascular risk factors, and no significant comorbidities. Since the age of 13, she has been under cardiological follow-up for frequent ventricular extrasystoles. At the age of 36, she was hospitalized for heart failure (HF) and diagnosed…
RIGHT VENTRICULAR DILATATION: A CASE REPORT OF AN UNEXPECTED DIAGNOSIS
Anno:
2025
A 69-year-old man with a history of hypercholesterolemia and frequent episodes of supraventricular extrasystoles and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), with echocardiographic evidence of dilation of the right heart chambers without an apparent cause. In 2016, the echocardiogram showed right ventricular dilation, mild tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure…
A CASE OF RIGHT HEART FAILURE IN ADULT PATIENT WITH EBSTEIN’S ANOMALY AND RIGHT COR TRIATRIATRIUM
Anno:
2025
Introduction: Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital cardiac disease, defined as the significant apical displacement of the part of the tricuspid valve due to inadequate delaminization of the tricuspid valve tissue. This condition causes significant tricuspid regurgitation and reduction of the functional right ventricle and right ventricular dilatation. We present a case of…
