Abstract
In this review, we provide a brief description of recently published articles addressing topics relevant to pediatric cardiologists. Our hope is to provide a summary of the latest articles published recently in other journals in our field. The articles reviewed in this manuscript address (1) long-term fate of the truncal valve, (2) comparison of combined heart‒liver vs heart-only transplantation in pediatric and young adult Fontan recipients showing non-inferior survival of heart–liver transplant in a small sample, (3) impact of palliation strategy on interstage feeding and somatic growth for infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow showing no difference in growth between ductal stenting and Blalock-Taussig shunt, (4) biventricular repair in interrupted aortic arch and ventricular septal defect with a small left ventricular outflow tract, (5) a randomized controlled trial comparing controlled reoxygenation and standard cardiopulmonary bypass in pediatric cardiac surgery, and (6) tricuspid valve and right ventricular function throughout the hybrid palliation strategy for hypoplastic left heart syndrome and variants.
