During the last 10 years, there have been major technological achievements in pediatric interventional cardiology. In addition, there have been several advances in cardiac imaging, especially in 3-dimensional imaging of echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and cineangiography. Therefore, more types of congenital heart diseases can be treated in the cardiac catheter laboratory today than ever before. Furthermore, lesions previously...

Purpose

Generally, aspirin is used as a protective agent against thrombogenic phenomenon after pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) using a bioprosthetic valve. However, the appropriate duration of aspirin use is unclear. We analyzed the impact of postoperative duration of aspirin use on the longevity of bioprosthetic pulmonary valves in patients who underwent repair for congenital heart diseases.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data...

Jun-Sook Lee, So-Ick Jang, Seong-Ho Kim, Sang-Yun Lee, Jae-Suk Baek, Woo-Sup Shim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(6):242-246.   Published online June 21, 2013
Purpose

The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is an important clinical tool for evaluating exercise capacity and is frequently used to evaluate chronic conditions including congenital heart disease. However, data on the normal CPET values for Korean children and adolescents are lacking. The aim of this study was to provide reference data for CPET variables in children and adolescents.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(6):883-888.   Published online June 15, 1999
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty(PTCA) is rarely performed on patients with coronary arterial stenosis that resulted from Kawasaki disease. We experienced a 3 year 10-month- old male with a history of Kawasaki disease who developed a few numbers of fusiform aneurysm on the right and left coronary artery. We examined and followed up the patient for 21 months using eletrocardiography,...
