Radiation exposure in children during the current era of pediatric cardiac intervention.
TL;DR: Evaluating factors that influence variability of X-ray exposure in children with congenital heart diseases during cardiac catheterization found the highest DAP was during left anterior oblique cranial 30° angulation, and other correlations were reported.

Immediate- and medium-term effects of balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in infants with critical pulmonary stenoses during the first year of life: A prospective single center study.
TL;DR: BPV is safe and effective to relieve critical PS in infants during the first year of life and the Doppler gradient observations during the follow-up support the expectation that BPV is a "curative" therapy.

Immediate and short-term effect of balloon mitral valvuloplasty on global and regional biventricular function: a two-dimensional strain echocardiographic study
TL;DR: MS patients have subclinical LV and RV systolic dysfunction by GLS despite normal ejection fraction and fractional area change and a mixed aetiology theory involving a myocardial as well as a haemodynamic factor is believed to be the cause for this subclinical biventricular dysfunction.
25
Factors affecting vascular access complications in children undergoing congenital cardiac catheterization.
TL;DR: Obtaining vascular access in unplanned access sites and longer puncture times increases the incidence of lost pulsations after catheterization, and younger age and smaller body weight are also associated with significant increase in access-related adverse events.

Determinants of platelet count in pediatric patients with congenital cyanotic heart disease: Role of immature platelet fraction.
Randa M. Matter,Iman A. Ragab,Alaa Roushdy,Ahmed G. Ahmed,Hanan Hassan Aly,Eman Abdel Rahman Ismail +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that elevated IPF in CCHD patients with thrombocytopenia may denote peripheral platelets destruction as an underlying mechanism and Hemoglobin level, RBCs count, Hct, and RET-He were not significant determinants for platelet count in C CHD.
