BPD was frequently complicated by PH. Although PH resolved in the majority of infants, PH in preterm infants with BPD can be fatal. Regular screening for PH and adequate management are required.

We investigated the catheterization and angiographic findings of 26 patients with Williams' syndrome to evaluate the natural course of supravalvar aortic stenosis and peripheral pulmonary arterial stenosis. The severity of the stenosis was correlated with age and body surface area in terms of the pulmonary arterial index, right ventricular systolic pressure, sinutubular ratio (ratio of measured to mean normal diameter of sinutubular junction), and systolic pressure gradient across the sinutubula

The dyskinetic segment activated by a right septal AP in WPW syndrome may lead to ventricular dilation and dysfunction. RFA produced mechanical resynchronization, reverse remodeling, and improvements in LV function.

Liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are serious late complications that can occur after the Fontan procedure. This study aimed to investigate the cumulative incidence of cirrhosis and HCC and to identify specific features distinguishing HCC from benign arterial-phase hyperenhancing (APHE) nodules that developed after the Fontan operation. We retrospectively enrolled 313 post-Fontan patients who had been followed for more than 5 years and had undergone ultrasound or computed tomogr

RFCA was found to be effective and safe for SVT in young children.

Because cardiac dysfunction did not resolve after RT in pediatric population, regular evaluation for cardiovascular function after RT is required. Early RT may also be beneficial to global LV performance after RT.

In South Korea, Gram-positive cocci represent 85% of all etiologic agents of IE in children with an increasing trend in the proportion of staphylococci.
