Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a structural abnormality of the heart and/or great vessels and patients with CHD are at an increased risks of various morbidities throughout their lives and reduced long-term survival. Eventually, CHD may result in various complications including heart failure, arrhythmias, stroke, pneumonia, and sudden death. Unfortunately, the exact etiology and pathophysiology of some CHD remain unclear. Although the quality of life and prognosis of patients with CHD have significantly improved following technological advancement, the influence of CHD is lifelong, especially in patients with complicated CHD. Thus, the management of CHD remains a challenge due to its high prevalence. Finally, there are some disagreements on CHD among international guidelines. In this review, we provide an update of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment in most common type of CHD, including patent foramen ovale, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, atrioventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, coarctation of the aorta, transposition of the great arteries, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, coronary anomalies, left and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, tetralogy of Fallot and Ebstein anomaly. In particular, we focus on what is known and what is unknown in these areas, aiming to improve the current understanding of various types of CHD.

Abstract
Transcatheter ductal closure has proven to be safe and effective to occlude the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants. We have developed a robust multidisciplinary PDA program. After gaining experience performing transcatheter ductal closure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, we transitioned to performing the procedure at the patient's bedside in the neonatal intensive care unit using echocardiographic guidance. The bedside approach has the potential to expand this therapy to patients who currently undergo expectant PDA management because of lack of availability of this therapy, and allow for earlier referral, which will reduce time of exposure to this pathologic shunt.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimal management of a patent ductus arteriosus in a population of preterm infants is controversial. Traditionally, when the patent ductus arteriosus does not close either with conservative treatment or in response to pharmacological therapy, the only option is surgical closure. However, transcatheter occlusion might provide a therapeutic alternative. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for non-randomised and randomised controlled trials that compared transcatheter percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus with surgical ligation in low-birth-weight preterm infants (<2,500 g). A random-effects model was used for outcomes with high heterogeneity. RESULTS We included twelve studies comprising 4,668 low-birth-weight preterm infants, of whom 966 (20.7%) were in the transcatheter percutaneous closure group, and 3,702 (79.3%) patients were included in the surgical group. All-cause mortality (OR 0.28; 95% confidence interval 0.18-0.423; p < 0.00001; I2 = 0%) and haemodynamic instability (OR 0.10; 95% confidence interval 0.05-0.21; p < 0.001; I2 = 14%) were significantly lower in the transcatheter percutaneous closure group. There was no significant difference between transcatheter and surgical patent ductus arteriosus closure for the outcomes of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (0.93; 95% confidence interval 0.46-1.87; p = 0.83; I2 = 0%) and major complications (OR 0.76; 95% confidence interval 0.34-1.69; p = 0.51; I2 = 43%). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus closure in preterm infants under 2,500 g is a safe and effective alternative to surgical treatment. There was a substantial reduction in all-cause mortality and haemodynamic instability with transcatheter intervention compared to surgical closure.

Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1292623. [PMID: 38178913 PMCID: PMC10765538 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1292623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To assess the success rate of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) transcatheter closure in preterm infants and to describe the nature of procedural adverse events and short-term clinical status. Study design All the preterm infants with PDA transcatheter closure were evaluated retrospectively between July 2019 and March 2023 in a single level III neonatal intensive care unit in France. The procedure was performed in the catheterization laboratory using venous canulation. We retrospectively collected data about the patients' characteristics, procedural outcomes and complications. Results Twenty-five infants born between 23.4 and 32.0 weeks of gestational age (mean ± SD 26.3 ± 1.9 weeks) underwent transcatheter PDA closure. Their mean age and weight at the time of the procedure were 52 days (range 22-146 days) and 1,620 g (range 890-3,700 g), respectively. Successful closure was achieved in all but one patient. Procedure related complications were reported in 10 infants (40%), including 6 left pulmonary artery stenosis one of which required a balloon dilatation, two cardiac tamponades and two inferior vena cava thrombosis. Only two post-ligature syndromes occurred after the procedure. Two infants died one of which was related to the procedure. Conclusion Transcatheter closure of a PDA is a valid alternative to surgical ligation due to its high success rate and low incidence of post-ligature syndrome. Nevertheless, we also report rare, although serious complications.

[PMID: 37659585 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2023.113716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe recent trend in procedural closure of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) among premature infants and compare the clinical characteristics of infants receiving surgical vs transcatheter closure. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a descriptive, retrospective cohort study of preterm infants born between 220/7 and 296/7 weeks' gestation from 2014 through 2021. Infants were identified from the Pediatrix Clinical Data Warehouse. We excluded infants with any major congenital anomaly. We identified all preterm infants with a PDA and all those who underwent procedural closure (surgical ligation or transcatheter occlusion) and compared changes over time using ANOVA for continuous variables and the Cochran-Armitage trend test to evaluate time-related changes in proportions. RESULTS The study cohort included 64 580 infants, of whom 24 028 (37.2%) were diagnosed with a PDA. The number of infants receiving any procedural closure of the PDA decreased from 371 (4.4%) in 2014 to 144 (1.9%) in 2021. During the same period, number of surgical ligations decreased from 369 (4.36%) to 64 (0.84%), and the number of transcatheter occlusions increased from 2 (0.02%) to 80 (1.05% p for all < 0.001). The median age at time of surgical ligation increased from 25 days (10th and 90th percentile, 10, 61) to 31 days (10th and 90th percentile, 16, 66), and the median age of transcatheter occlusion decreased from 103 days (10th and 90th percentile, 32, 150) to 43 days (10th and 90th percentile, 22, 91). CONCLUSIONS There was a decrease in surgical closure and an increase in transcatheter occlusion of the PDA in infants born at 22-30 weeks' gestation from 2014 to 2021. Despite the decline in overall procedural closure, the rate of transcatheter occlusion surpassed surgical ligation by 2021. Narrowing differences in the median age and weight at closure suggest increasing overlap in the types of infants who received each type of procedural closure.
