Abstract

Results of the use of antisyphon devices in 30 children are presented. Maintenance of a degree of ventricular dilatation was achieved in all 7 out of 10 cases when the device was implanted at the primary procedure and there was follow-up evidence of ventricular size. Sixteen of 20 children in whom the device was implanted for the slit ventricle syndrome became symptom free. However, seldom in this group did the ventricular system re-expand. Complications in each group are discussed.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of the right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.
