Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valve repair is the treatment of choice for paediatric congenital heart valve disease, but valve replacement may still be necessary if repair strategies fail or if a valve is extensively damaged.(1) Paediatric-size heart valves available include biological, bioprosthetic and mechanical valves. These current valve replacement technologies still have significant limitations, including valve degeneration and dysfunction.(2) As a result, a patient may require numerous valve re-replacements. The need to 'redo' a valve replacement combined with the need for growth potential, over an individual's lifespan, are critical considerations in paediatric treatment strategies. Alternative approaches and solutions for valve substitutes need to be sought. The aim of this dissertation is therefore to compile a literature review of the currently available and newly emerging heart valve replacement technologies for paediatric use. The review identifies the paediatric population that may benefit from heart valve prostheses, the associated procedural complications, together with indications for valve replacement interventions. The limitations of such technologies are explored, focusing on reoperation rate, revision surgery, somatic growth and the potential to overcome the problems associated with intervention. Critical design outcomes are discussed, investigating questions relating to the selection of materials, device implantation or deployment and removal. The use of minimally invasive procedures, particularly catheter-based techniques, is looked at as an alternative to open heart surgery. This includes percutaneous valve replacement with the potential for valve-in-valve replacements. Finally, the future direction in which such technologies are likely to go are discussed, pointing out what areas further research should focus on in order to achieve progress in this field. This review attempts to find a paediatric cardiac surgeon's armamentarium for valve intervention, focusing on valve replacement of any of the four heart valves. The extensive literature review conducted uses online resource material from relevant medical and scientific databases, such as Medline and Science Direct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart Disease in Paediatrics, Third Edition discusses the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease, particularly on the use of technologies. The Doppler echocardiography provides hemodynamic information; the Doppler color flow imaging produces a picture resembling an angiocardiogram, including the various procedures of balloon valvuloplasty and angioplasty in lesion appraisals. The book reviews general cardiology, fetal circulation, the changes at birth related to congenital heart disease, and the generation of heart sounds and murmurs. To conduct cardiac investigations, the medical practitioner can employ radiology, electrocardiography, echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, or myocardial biopsy. The text also describes the different congenital cardiac defects such as left ventricle to right atrial communication (Gerbode defect) and pulmonary valve stenosis with right-to-left shunt at atrial level. Special problems related to heart problems in the newborn infant include hypoplasia of the left heart, neonatal hypocalcaemia, and systemic arteriovenous. The book addresses the psychosocial and primary care problems of congenital heart disease where treatment is given possibly before the child reaches school age. The text can benefit pediatricians, heart specialists, family physicians, psychologists, obstetrician-gynecologist, and primary health care professionals.

The second part closely looks at various disorders of the Aortopathy such as bicuspid aortic valve and coarctation of aorta. The book editors have published a lot of works on the topic and have been collecting relating data in the field of congenital heart disease for the past 20 years, thus present the book with confidence. The topic - an association of aortic pathophysiological abnormality, aortic dilation and aorto-left ventricular interaction - is getting more and more attention among cardiovascular physicians. This is the first book to refer for cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, surgeons, ACHD specialists, etc. to acquire thorough knowledge on Aortopathy.
