A clinically critical complication is the coronary artery aneurysm, which may progress and lead to coronary stenosis or even obstruction. Herein, we describe a 14.5-year-old boy with a history of KD at 6 months old, who developed multiple aneurysms along all the coronary branches. During the follow-up at the age of 14 years, the left coronary artery aneurysms regressed, while the aneurysm of the right coronary artery persisted and was complicated by obstruction at its proximal part, according to computed tomography angiography. However, the patient at the last follow-up was asymptomatic and well. The serious nature of KD coronary complications warrants follow-up visits. Since echocardiography alone may fail to reveal stenosis or obstruction, other adjunct follow-up imaging modalities such as conventional, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance angiogr...

Recently, a considerable proportion of familial cases have been identified, and possible roles of autoimmune factors suggested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the abnormality of thyroid function tests in first degree relatives of CH neonates and compared it to normal population. Methods: From 2002-2007 thyroid function tests (T4 and TSH) of 194 randomly selected CH neonates borne in all 17 hospitals of the Isfahan, Iran and their first degree relatives were measured, and compared with thyroid function tests of first degree relatives of 350 normal neonates that randomly selected as sex, age and urban/rural status. Patients' mothers and control groups were also evaluated for TPO antibody. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS (version 11.5; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) and Chi Square test used to compare two groups. Findings: Thyroid function tests was measured in the first de...

Methods: In a cross sectional study, 50 children between six and twelve years old were evaluated for Helicobacter pylori infection by a histopathologic specimen. C-reactive protein (CRP) and Interleukin-12 of all subjects was checked. Endothelial dysfunction was evaluated by echocardiography of brachial artery and through measuring flow mediated dilatation (FMD). Results: Mean of FMD level was significantly higher in children with H. pylori infection (P value: 0.04). Interlukin-12 (IL-12) was higher in children with H. pylori infection (P value: 0.04). Linear regression showed a positive association of Helicobacter pylori infection and endothelial dysfunction (beta = 0.3, P value = 0.08). Conclusions: Children with Helicobacter pylori infection have more endothelial dysfunction independent of IL-12.

Although the high effectiveness of device closure techniques has been clearly determined, a few studies have focused on the cost-effectiveness and also postoperative complications of these procedures in comparison with open surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome and cost-effectiveness of PDA occlusion by Amplatzer and coil device in comparisong with open surgery. In this cross-sectional study, a randomized sample of 201 patients aged 1 month to 16 years (105 patients with device closure and 96 patients with surgical closure) was selected. The ratio of total pulmonary blood flow to total systemic blood flow, the Qp/Qs ratio, was measured using a pulmonary artery catheter. The cost analysis included direct medical care costs associated with device implantation and open surgery, as well as professional fees. All costs were calculated in Iranian Rials an...

It is categorized according to the defect site in which the most common form is secundum ASD (ASD2) with the defect in the central part of the atrial septum. CASE REPORT In our case series, we evaluated five children aged under one year old with ASD2 and pulmonary hypertension (PH). All the patients were referred for surgical ASD closure. Their PH was improved and the size of right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV) became normal during the follow-up and one year after the surgery all of them had normal pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) with normal RA and RV size. CONCLUSION According to our study and those done by others, the prevalence of PH in infants with ASD is low, but when this combination is found without any other CHD, ASD closure should be considered.

Self-closure of these defects in patients with defects less than 8 mm has been reported in several studies. In children, transcatheter closure of the ASD is suggested for asymptomatic patients older than two years and with weight > 15 kg. The purpose of this study was to show that transcatheter closure of ASD in small children with body weight less than 10 kg is an effective and safe method. METHODS Between July 2016 and September 2018, 35 children with body weight less than 10 kg underwent percutaneous closure of ASD using amplatzer. All patients had minimum defect size of 6 mm, pulmonary blood flow (Qp) to systemic blood flow (Qs) ratio above 1.5, right atrial and ventricular dilation, symptoms of delayed growth, and recurrent respiratory infections in their evaluation and had acceptable rims for intervention. Follow-up evaluations were done 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and ye...

The diagnosis of COVID-19 was confirmed through the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Transthoracic echocardiography of patients revealed large intracardiac mobile masses resected successfully via cardiac surgery. The underlying mechanisms of this thrombus in the COVID-19 infection may be attributed to the hypercoagulation and inflammatory state of the disease incurred by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Percutaneous closure of ASD is an efficient technique used commonly worldwide. Varieties of techniques have been used to assess postoperative changes of cardiac function. The current study has aimed to assess outcomes of percutaneous ASD closure using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE). METHODS This non-experimental research was conducted on 22 patients who volunteered for percutaneous ASD closure between 2016 and 2018. Cases were assessed three times including prior to percutaneous ASD closure, after 24 hours, and a month after procedure. Cases outcomes were assessed and compared during the time. RESULTS Strain rate in RV middle septal wall was significantly different (P < 0.050) between before and one month after the procedure. Comparison of indices post procedure and one month later ...

The incidence of CHD, total number of pediatric and adult grown-up congenital heart disease (GUCH), is not determined in Iran. Therefore, we have designed a system to register the information of patients with CHD for the first time in our country. METHODS CHD registry is a database in which the patients' data are collected by five pediatric cardiologists from three referral hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran, and five outpatient clinics. We enrolled patients with CHD either as new cases who were referred for evaluation of potential CHD or those who were being followed within the outpatient clinics and entered their whole information in a website specifically designed for it. All the information was collected from checklist by those pediatric cardiologists RESULTS From April 2017 to April 2020, after developing the forms and website,...

Data on pediatric CHD in Iran are scant; accordingly, we aimed to report the early results of the Persian Registry Of cardioVascular diseasE (PROVE/CHD) Registry in Isfahan. Methods: All patients with CHD and associated defects diagnosed by pediatric cardiologists were assessed via echocardiography for inclusion in the present study between late 2016 and August 2019. The participants’ sociodemographic characteristics, maternal history, birth history, medical history, current clinical presentations in the clinic or hospital, paraclinical data, cardiac diagnoses based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), disease management plans, and medications were entered into a questionnaire by the subjects’ parents/legal custodians and physicians and then transferred to the PROVE/CHD Registry. Results: The PROVE/CHD registry e...
