Allogenic stem cell therapy improves right ventricular function by improving lung pathology in rats with pulmonary hypertension.

23 Sep 2009 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic lung disease that leads to right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy (RVH), remodeling, and failure. We tested treatment with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained from donor rats with ... Read more...

The functional intraoperative pulmonary blood flow study is a more sensitive predictor than preoperative anatomy for right ventricular pressure and physiologic tolerance of ventricular septal defect closure after complete unifocalization in patients with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and major aortopulmonary collaterals.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The objective was to determine if intraoperative pulmonary artery (PA) flow studies after complete unifocalization correlate with postrepair hemodynamics for pulmonary atresia (PA), ventricular septal defects (VSD), and major ... Read more...

Effect of transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation on short-term right ventricular function as determined by two-dimensional speckle tracking strain and strain rate imaging.

13 Sep 2009 Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (PVI) is an emerging therapy for right ventricular (RV) outflow dysfunction in congenital heart disease. We investigated, for the first time in children after surgery for congenital heart disease, the ... Read more...
