Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) involves abnormal proliferations of oddly behaving histocytes that are not derived from the Langerhan's Cell linage. These collections tend to occur within lymph nodes, with occasional extra nodal presentation. While RDD is a rare entity itself, extra nodal cases are even more so, with even fewer reporting cardiac involvement, and previously only in adults. This repo...

BACKGROUND Accurate assessment of intra- as well as extra-cardiac malformations and radiation dosage concerns are especially crucial to infants and children with interrupted aortic arch (IAA). The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of prospective electrocardiogram (ECG)-triggered dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) angiography with low-dosage techniques in the diagnosis of IAA...

the brucellosis with multi-organ involvement in a patient with a history of the composite aortic graft ( bentall procedure) and hepatitis b infection is rare. a 35-year-old man presented to us with fever and loss of consciousness. four years ago, he was idu and underwent cardiac surgery because of endocarditis. recently lumbar spondylodiscitis was diagnosed. the wright (1/320) and coombs wright...

Severe aortic stenosis (AS) results in cardiac damages, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, atrial enlargement, pulmonary pressure elevation and advanced stage, right damage. Généreux colleagues proposed a staging classification based on these extra-valvular damages 2017, with increasing stage representing more While regression of is expected following valve replacement, the reversal damage t...

BACKGROUND The incidence of cardiac device infection is not well understood. Bloodstream infection (BSI) in patients with permanent pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (hereafter, defibrillators) may reflect device infection. METHODS Retrospective, population-based cohort study of all adult patients with cardiac devices who resided in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from 1975 to ...

Abstract Background Although early results of total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) using an extracardiac conduit are favorable, the patients' growth leads to linearization Fontan route causing energy loss by collision blood flow from SVC and IVC, PV compression. Use oversized in young children also causes due caliber change, a risk thrombosis stagnation. We have performed TCPC with Extra Cardi...
