Objective: The aim was to develop a consensus-based method of risk adjustment for in-
hospital mortality among children younger than 18 years after surgery for congenital heart …

Background In patients with ductal‐dependent pulmonary blood flow, initial palliation
includes catheter‐based patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stent or surgical aortopulmonary …

Background: Infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow may undergo palliation
with either a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stent or a modified Blalock-Taussig (BT) shunt …

Background: Infants born with cardiac abnormalities causing dependence on the arterial
duct for pulmonary blood flow are often palliated with a shunt usually between the …

Background—Tetralogy of Fallot with cyanosis requiring surgical repair in early infancy
reflects poor anatomy and is associated with more clinical instability and longer …

OBJECTIVES Thirty-two consecutive isolated modified Blalock Taussig (BT) shunts
performed in infancy since 2004 were reviewed and analysed to identify the risk factors for …

Objective: Poor growth is a common complication in infants with congenital heart disease.
There has been much focus on low birth weight as having increased risk of adverse …

Objectives: This study sought to compare pulmonary arterial (PA) growth during palliation
after right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenting versus modified Blalock-Taussig shunt …

Objectives Analyses of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in pediatric heart surgery have
primarily focused on single-center outcomes or narrow applications. We describe the …

Background: Ductal-dependent cyanotic newborns require a secure source of pulmonary
blood flow. There has been a recent migration to selective ductal (patent ductus arteriosus …
