ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of multislice CT (MSCT)in the diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease (FCHD)in children.Methods 41 children cases with clinical diagnosis of congenital heart disease were collected randomly.All the children were examined with MSCT and ultrasonic cardiogram(UCG)examination,and 20 cases were examined with cadioangiography(CAG) check.All the cases were confirmed by surgery.The results of Preoperative MSCT,UCG and the CAG heart examination diagnosis were compared with surgical diagnosis results.Results Surgery confirmed 225 deformities and 1 1 5 intracardiac malformations.In the intracardiacmal malformations,the accurate diagnostic rates of MSCT,UCG,the CAG were 92.2%,99.1% and 74.4%,respectively;With surgery confirmed 110 heart malformations,the accurate diagnostic rates of MSCT,UCG,the CAG were 98.2%,84.5%,96.2%,respec-tively.The combined use of MSCT and UCG confirmed 224 correct diagnoses,the diagnosis coincidence rate reached 99.6%;The check accuracy of MSCT was highter than UCG in congenital heart disease with heart malformations(χ2 =12.962,P <0.05),The differences has statistical significance.Conclusion The check accuracy of MSCT is better in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease.The joint application of MSCT and UCG can obviously improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of congenital heart disease and congenital anoma-lies.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Occluder implantation in patients with congenital heart disease can increase in vivo platelet adhesion and aggregation, resulting in thrombosis on the occluder surface. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of the occluder on platelet function in patients with congenital heart disease undergoing transcatheter closure. METHODS: Clinical data from 124 patients with congenital heart disease undergoing transcatheter closure were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into groups of atrial septal defect in 46 cases, patent ductus arteriosus in 43 cases and ventricular septal defect in 35 cases according to the types of congenital heart disease. The positive rates for peripheral blood CD62p, CD63 RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no difference in the positive rates of peripheral blood CD and thrombin sensitive protein were compared before and 6 hours, 24 hours, 12 months after occluder implantation. 62p, CD63 and thrombin sensitive protein among three groups prior to occluder implantation. Up to 6 hours after occluder implantation, the expression levels of peripheral blood CD62p, CD63 and thrombin sensitive protein reached peak in the three groups, especialy in the patients with atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, then gradualy decreased. After 12 months, the expression levels of CD62p and CD63 recovered in the patients with patent ductus arteriosus and ventricular septal defect, but stil maintained a higher level in those with atrial septal defect (P < 0.05). The expression of thrombin sensitive protein showed no difference among the three groups at different time. These findings indicate that after occluder implantation, the platelet activation is more remarkable and lasts longer in the patients with atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, especialy in those with ventricular septal defect.
