CHD in Children Patient Stories

Anthony's family turned to CHOP's coronary artery anomaly management program and the team is looking for answers to less-known cardiac defects called coronary artery abnormal aortic origin and other coronary artery anomalies.

Quinn was diagnosed with coronary artery anomaly called left coronary artery anomaly (ALCAPA) and was treated by the CHOP Heart Group, giving him a better chance of survival.

Abbey was diagnosed with a double entry left ventricle, a severe cardiac defect, and underwent several operations at the heart of CHOP.

Three-year-old Michael performed a series of cardiac surgeries at Philadelphia Children's Hospital (CHOP) and corrected rare cardiac defects.

An innovative program will fix Juli's cardiovascular problems. Inspired by CHOP nurse, Julia is becoming a nurse at school.

When Diana and Core learned that a premature baby is a Fallot tetramemia, they better understand the diagnosis, plan a childbirth, and prepare for the baby's open heart surgery CHOP fetal heart plan I'll come.

Joanna was a patient at CHOP Heart Center throughout his life. In 2010, she turned to her heart team again when preparing another major event in her life: the first pregnancy

Before his son is born Let's learn about Bridget's medical care at the adult congenital heart center in Philadelphia and her experience with perinatal cardiomyopathy after childbirth.

With advances in pediatric departments, the life expectancy of congenital heart disease (CHD) patients has increased significantly. Therefore, the pattern of death is changing. Our research is aimed at explaining the causes of survival and death in modern adult patients with coronary heart disease. In the adult CHD database, 3,068 patients (over 16 years of age, 1 time in the center between 2000 and 2015 for the Center) were investigated and the deaths and causes were recorded through the Australian National Death Index. Survival and mortality patterns were analyzed by the complexity and potential inborn diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Our cohort contained 3,068 adult patients (53% male). Patient distribution (according to Bethesda classification) was simple, 47% simple, 34% moderate, 18% complicated (1% not classifiable). The median follow-up was 6.2 years (IQR 3.5 - 10.4), 341 patients (11%) died and the mortality rate was 100 people / 100 patient years (py). Perioperative mortality rate is only 5% of death

In Asia, the incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is high, so AIMS is beginning to recognize the necessity of 3D printing labor more and more. Even India alone, nearly 200,000 children every year are born with coronary heart disease. Since AIMS is known for high quality healthcare, many patients are being introduced there. Every year, about 1,000 patients are undergoing cardiac surgery or transcatheter treatment at the hospital, and an increase in population can increase the number of patients with coronary heart disease. "I have always tried very complex heart disease patients, especially in children with congenital deficiency cases, the possibility that understanding of these cases and planning of surgery become increasingly difficult The changer is a real game because you get the information you need to better understand the problem and cardiopathology from the 3D print's anatomical model.I use these insights to find the best way We can plan.
