Abstract

Minimally invasive pediatric cardiac surgical techniques continue to evolve and remain challenged by technologic advances in percutaneous devices developed to treat congenital heart disease exclusive of cardiopulmonary bypass. Public tenacity for "incisionless" operations, however, must remain balanced scrupulously against the collective safety of the surgical procedure. Twenty-three pediatric patients underwent repair of atrial septal defects through a partial sternal split and a limited skin incision (5 to 7 cm) at our institution between July 1995 and October 1996. The average age of the patients was 6 years and 2 months (range, 19 months to 15 years) and the average weight was 23.3 kg (range, 11.3 to 61.7 kg). The average bypass time was 35 minutes (range, 19 to 81 minutes). Fourteen patients had a single dose of blood cardioplegia administered, whereas 9 had ventricular fibrillation electrically induced. Twenty-two patients had ostium secundum defects and 1 had a sinus venosus defect. The average length of the hospital stay was 3.6 days (range, 3 to 6 days). There were no operative or late deaths. Modifications of this technique continue to evolve as an effective cosmetic alternative to submammary and thoracotomy approache...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
