A novel MLL2 gene mutation in a Korean patient with Kabuki syndrome
Soo Jin Kim, Sung Yoon Cho, Se Hyun Maeng, Young Bae Sohn, Su-Jin Kim, Chang-Seok Ki, Dong-Kyu Jin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(8):355-358.   Published online August 27, 2013

Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disease with a distinctive dysmorphic face, intellectual disability, and multiple congenital abnormalities. KS is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. As the primary cause of KS, MLL2 mutations have been identified in 56-76% of affected individuals who have been tested, suggesting that there may be additional genes associated with KS. Recently, a few...

The hybrid perventricular closure of apical muscular ventricular septal defect with Amplatzer duct occluder
Soo Jin Kim, June Huh, Jin Young Song, Ji-Hyuk Yang, Tae-Gook Jun, I-Seok Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(4):176-181.   Published online April 22, 2013
Purpose

Apical muscular ventricular septal defects (MVSDs), especially in small infants, can be difficult to manage using surgical and percutaneous closure. An intraoperative perventricular procedure is a good option for closing apical MVSDs in small children with or without associated cardiac anomalies. We evaluated the results of hybrid perventricular closure of apical MVSDs performed using an Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO).

Methods

We retrospectively...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(3):380-391.   Published online March 15, 2010
Purpose : Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the main pathogens causing lower respiratory infections (LRI) in young children, usually of limited severity. However, in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients, one of the high-risk groups for RSV infection, RSV can cause serious illnesses and fatal results. To elucidate the effects of RSV infection in CHD patients, we observed RSV...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(4):401-408.   Published online April 15, 2008
Purpose : Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) is currently established therapy as an alternative to surgery. But rarely, complications are reported in some studies. We report early and intermediate term complications associated with transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects using the Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO). Methods : From June 2003 to May 2006, 64 patients underwent transcatheter closure of...

A case of constrictive pericarditis presenting with protein-losing enteropathy
Jeong Mi Hong, Jae Young Lee, Soo Jin Kim, Gi Young Jang, Woo Sup Shim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(8):898-901.   Published online August 15, 2006
Constrictive pericarditis represents a rare cause of protein-losing enteropathy in children. Reported is an 11-year-old girl with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) as the principal manifestations of constrictive pericarditis. After total pericardiectomy, symptoms and signs of PLE disappeared. Doppler echocardiography including tissue Doppler imaging is a useful noninvasive initial diagnostic tool for differential diagnosis of diastolic heart failure.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(12):1362-1369.   Published online December 15, 2005
Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the plasma level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(pro-BNP) and several known risk factors influencing outcomes after Fontan operations, and to assess whether pro-BNP levels can be used as predictive risk factors in Fontan operations. Methods : Plasma pro-BNP concentrations were measured in 35 patients with complex cardiac anomalies before catheterization....

Surgical Correction of Congenital Heart Disease In 18 Trisomy
Jinyoung Song, Yun Hee Moon, Ki Young Jang, Jae Young Lee, Soo Jin Kim, Woo Seup Shim, Woong Han Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(4):462-464.   Published online April 15, 2004
18 trisomy(Edwards syndrome) is a fatal disease with a congenital heart anomaly. Patients usually receive less aggressive care because caregivers expect them to die very young. Although they have a very poor prognosis due to severe multi-organ dysfunction, symptomatic simple cardiac anomaly with left to right shunt can be repaired. We experienced a case of 18 trisomy with ventricular septal...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(2):167-176.   Published online February 15, 2001
Purpose : The aims of this study are to investigate the results of balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) in congenital aortic stenosis(CAS) and, especially, to compare the results between BAV performed before two months of age(Group A) and BAV after two month of age(Group B). Methods : From January 1993 to June 2000, 14 patients who were diagnosed as CAS were treated...
Study of Congenital Mitral Stenosis Cases Requiring Surgical Correction in the First 2-Years of Life

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(11):1451-1457.   Published online November 15, 2000
Purpose : Total anomalous venous return(TAPVR) is associated in more than 60% of patients with right isomerism and can significantly complicate the management of single ventricle patients at any stage of management. We studied the results of management and sought to determine factors that may influence survival in patients with TAPVR in right atrial isomerism. Methods : Between February 1991 and...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(9):1290-1293.   Published online September 15, 2000
Aortopulmonary window is an uncommon cardiac anomaly accounting for approximately 0.2-0.6% of all congenital cardiac anomalies in which there is a connection between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk. Since the first report of successful surgical repair, many investigators have advocated surgical closure of all types of aortopulmonary windows using different technique. The majority of aortopulmonary windows require surgical therapy...
