A rare cause of cyanosis in childhood: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017-01-01) Guvenc, Osman; Saygi, Murat; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Odemis, Ender
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, which is defined as the presence of an abnormal connection between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, is rarely seen. Although it generally presents as a congenital condition, it may be accompanied by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Clinical signs vary according to the amount of shunt in proportion to the number and size of the fistulae. Patients may present with cyanosis and respiratory trouble. If the disease remains untreated, it may result in cardiac failure and infective endocarditis, thereby leading to the rupture of the aneurysmal fistula. Transcatheter embolization of abnormal vascular connection is the current treatment method in this disease. This article describes the case of an 8-year-old child. He was presented with the symptom of getting tired quickly. Transcutaneous oxygen saturation of 75\%, and pulmonary arteriovenous malformation were detected in his examination. Successful transcatheter embolization of the fistula was performed.
Collateral dependent cerebral and coronary circulation in a newborn
(SPRINGER INDIA, 2020-01-01) Suzan, Dilek; Aydin, Selim; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Erek, Ersin
Association of interrupted aortic arch with aortic atresia as a variant of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is extremely rare and could not be compatible with life without a reliable source for cerebral and coronary blood flow. The patient with a large collateral artery between the descending aorta and the right subclavian artery is presented.
Comparison of different pulmonary valve reconstruction techniques during transannular repair of tetralogy of fallot
(WILEY, 2021-01-01) Temur, Bahar; Aydin, Selim; Suzan, Dilek; Kirat, Baris; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Erek, Ersin
Background Transannular patch, which results in pulmonary insufficiency (PI), is usually required during repair of tetralogy of fallot (TOF). In this study, we compared three types of pulmonary valve reconstruction techniques during transannular repair of TOF. Methods Between February 2014 and January 2018, 50 patients with TOF underwent primary repair with transannular patch. These patients were divided into three groups. In Group 1, (n = 15), a single gluteraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patch (standard method) was reconstructed as monocusp. In Group 2, (n = 16) Nunn's bileaflet pulmonary valve reconstruction technique was used with pericardial patch. In Group 3, (n = 19), Nunn's bileaflet technique was performed with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane. The outcomes of the patients and early and midterm competency of the pulmonary valves were analyzed. Results These techniques were significantly effective in early postoperative period. Freedom from moderate to severe PI were 73.3\%

Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used to provide cardiorespiratory support during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Incidence and treatment of pulmonary vein stenosis after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
(BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2019-01-01) Erek, Ersin; Suzan, Dilek; Aydin, Selim; Hesenov, Ramal; Temur, Bahar; Kirat, Bans; Yildiz, Okan; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Odemis, Ender
Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence and treatment of pulmonary vein stenosis after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Methods: Between December 2010 and December 2016, a total of 40 patients (25 males, 15 females
Mediastinal vacuum-assisted closure therapy following pediatric congenital cardiac surgery
(BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2017-01-01) Aydin, Selim; Temur, Bahar; Suzan, Dilek; Kirat, Baris; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Ozen, Metehan; Erek, Ersin
Background: In this study, we report nine pediatric cases who developed sternal wound complications following complex congenital cardiac surgery and treated with mediastinal vacuum-assisted closure technique. Methods: Between January 2014 and December 2015, a total of 473 congenital heart operations were performed in our hospital. Of these patients, nine (8 males, 1 females
Outcomes of truncus arteriosus repair with bovine jugular vein conduit
(BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2018-01-01) Erek, Ersin; Temur, Bahar; Suzan, Dilek; Aydin, Selim; Yildiz, Okan; Kirat, Bans; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Odemis, Ender
Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the outcomes of truncus arteriosus repair in patients undergoing Rastelli type truncus arteriosus. Methods: A total of 13 patients (7 males, 6 females
Rare combination and transcatheter treatment during single session in an infant: Patent ductus arteriosus and major aortopulmonary collateral artery concordance
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016-01-01) Guvenc, Osman; Odemis, Ender; Saygi, Murat; Demir, Ibrahim Halil
Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries are abnormal vascular structures that may be seen in cyanotic diseases that progress with reduced pulmonary flow. They occur rather rarely in the absence of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Presently described is the case of an infant who underwent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and major aortopulmonary collateral artery occlusion in a single session, without presence of cyanotic congenital heart disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of congenital aortopulmonary collateral artery to be reported in a symptomatic infant with PDA.
The impact of pulmonary valve-sparing techniques on postoperative early and midterm results in tetralogy of Fallot repair

Background: In this study, we analyzed the impact of pulmonary valve-sparing techniques on early and midterm postoperative results of tetralogy of Fallot repair. Methods: A total of 64 patients diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot, who underwent total correction operation by the same surgeon between November 2010 and September 2015 were included in this retrospective study. Mean age of the patients was 20.0 +/- 14.2 months (5.5-96 months). Forty patients (62.5\%) were male. Thirty two of the patients (50\%) were under one year of age. Pulmonary valve-sparing techniques were performed in 29 patients (Group 2), while transannular patch was applied in the remaining 35 patients (Group 1). Pericardial monocusp valve was constructed in 15 patients in Group 1. In Group 2, pulmonary valve-sparing techniques were transatrial repair in nine patients
