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).

Relationship between depression and resilience in adolescents with congenital heart disease
Ju Ryoung Moon, Yoen Yi Jung, June Huh, I-Seok Kang, Seung Woo Park, Ji-Hyuk Yang, Tae-Gook Jun, Myung Ja Kim, Heung Jae Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(5):523-528.   Published online May 15, 2006
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between depression and resilience in adolescents with congenital heart disease(CHD) and to identify the variables associated with depression. Methods : The Resilience Scale(cronbach’s α=0.92), Children's Depression Inventory(cronbach’s α= 0.72) and Maternal Behavior Research Instrument(cronbach’s α=0.88) were applied and analyzed to assess depression and resilience among 231 adolescents after...

Jae Ju Cho, Woo Sung Park, I-Seok Kang, Tae-Gook Jun, Mi-Jin Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(10):1114-1118.   Published online October 15, 2004
Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis(CPVS) with anatomically normal connection, a rare anomaly, usually leads to progressive pulmonary hypertension, cardiac failure in infancy, and death if untreated. Most are combined with other anomalies, particularly left to right shunt lesions. Very often, the detection of CPVS is overlooked on the initial cardiac echocardiogram, because it may be mild in its severity initially, but...
