    Abstract This case report describes a 15-year-old patient with a known congenital malformation syndrome and immune deficiency, presenting with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after a recent diagnosis of an intrathoracic mass. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a structurally and functionally normal heart and workup confirmed a primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, with pericardial and left atrial involvement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Electrical cardioversion was successfully performed to convert the AF and chemotherapy was promptly started. Antiarrhythmic treatment was continued for 6 weeks, without recurrent AF. We discuss the pathogenesis of AF in the setting of malignancies as well as the management strategies of AF, mainly based on adult guidelines.

    Abstract Background and aims: Abdominal coarctations are rare. Surgical treatment is difficult and requires re-interventions to adjust the graft material to patient growth. We report effective treatment by interventional catheterization in an infant with the concern to allow adjustment for growth and prevention of vessel damage.
    Methods and results: After the diagnosis of abdominal coarctation at 27 weeks of gestation, an infant developed hypertension (170/70 mmHg) at 3 months of age despite medical therapy. Angio CT confirmed a 2 mm diameter, 2.3-cm-long coarctation of the descending aorta. At 4 months, a dilatation was performed using a 3 mm cutting balloon and a 5 mm Opta® balloon, Cordis®. Two noncovered Palmaz® Genesis™ XD PG1910P stents were required to keep the aortic lumen open. At 15 months, an Adventa™ V12 vascular 12 × 61 mm long covered stent was implanted to exclude an aneurysm which developed between the two stents. At 3 and 9.5 years, the stents were further dilated with a high-pressure balloon to reach 11 mm aortic diameter with no residual pressure gradient, and normal blood pressure.
    Conclusions: The use of cutting balloons and stent implantation is an effective way to relieve severe obstruction in middle aortic syndrome in neonates. The technical issues encountered were the need for a low profile sheath and material to avoid femoral artery damage, and the need to use stents that can be further expanded to adult size.

    Abstract Children undergoing general anesthesia and surgery in the early years of life are exposed to the possible neurotoxicity of anesthetic agents. Prospective studies have shown deficits in behavior, executive function, social communication, and motor function in children undergoing anesthesia and surgery. Different biomarkers of neuronal injury have been evaluated neuronal injury in the pediatric population, among which neurofilaments represent a significant advantage as they are proteins exclusively expressed in neuronal tissue. Our aim was to evaluate the utility of serum neurofilament light (NfL) as a prognostic biomarker of neuronal injury in the pediatric population. A literature search was performed on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Databases in November 2022 for studies concerning serum NfL in the pediatric population in addition to a neurological assessment. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) prospective or retrospective studies, (2) studies including pediatric population until the age of 18 years, (3) serum NfL sampling, and (4) evaluation of neurological outcome. Data collection regarding study design, pediatric age, serum NfL levels, and results for neurological assessment were extracted from each study. Four manuscripts met the inclusion criteria and evaluated the prognostic utility of serum NfL in neonatal encephalopathy in correlation with the neurodevelopmental outcome that was assessed by the Bayley Scales of Infant Development until the age of 2 years. Children with neonatal encephalopathy showed significantly higher serum NfL vs. healthy controls and high serum NfL levels predicted an adverse neurological outcome. The decrease of serum NfL to a nadir point between 10 and 15 years old reflects the brain growth in healthy controls. No studies were available in the perioperative period.  Conclusions: Serum NfL is a valuable biomarker in evaluating neuronal injury in the pediatric population. Further studies with perioperative serial sampling of serum NfL combined with standardized neurodevelopmental tests should be conducted to evaluate the neurotoxicity of anesthetic agents and monitor the effectiveness of specific neuroprotective strategies in pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia and surgery. What is Known: • Preclinical animal data have shown neurotoxicity of the anesthetic agents in the developing brain. • Data regarding anesthetic neurotoxicity in humans show limitations and no objective tools are available. What is New: • This systematic review showed that serum NfL is a valuable biomarker of neuronal injury in the pediatric population. • Perioperative use of serum NfL may be considered in future trials evaluating anesthetic neurotoxicity in the pediatric population and in monitoring neuroprotective strategies.

    Abstract Background: Amiodarone treatment is effective against various types of arrhythmias but is associated with adverse effects affecting, among other organs, thyroid function. Amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction was not thoroughly evaluated in children as it was in adults, yet this affection may lead to irreversible neurodevelopmental complications. Our study aimed to define the incidence and risk factors of amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction in children.
    Methods: The study was designed as an observational study with a retrospective clinical series of 152 children treated by amiodarone in the Pediatric Cardiology Unit of our center from 1990 to 2019. All patients were divided into three groups according to their thyroid status: euthyroid, AIH (amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism) or AIT (amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis). Patients from these three groups were compared in terms of key clinical and therapeutic features.
    Results: Amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction was present in 23% of patients. AIT (5.3%) was three times less common than AIH (17.7%), and its occurrence increased with older age (
    Conclusion: We observed that one in five children developed amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction. Special attention is required for older children with a high dosage and long-term therapy and who received a large number of loading doses, since these children are at risk to develop AIT, which is more delicate to manage than AIH.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the evolution of subcutaneous glucose during two sessions of monitored aerobic exercise in children or adolescents with type 1 diabetes after adaptation of insulin doses and carbohydrate intake according to a combined algorithm.
    Methods: Twelve patients with type 1 diabetes (15.1 ± 2 years; diabetes duration: 9.5 ± 3.1 years) performed two series of exercise sessions after cardiac evaluation. The first series (TE#1) consisted in a monitored exercise of moderate to vigorous intensity coupled with a bout of maximum effort. The second series of exercises (TE#2) was carried out in real life during exercises categorized and monitored by connected watches. TE#2 sessions were performed after adaptation of insulin doses and fast-acting carbohydrates according to decision algorithms.
    Results: Patients did not experience episodes of severe hypoglycemia, symptomatic hyperglycemia, or hyperglycemia associated with ketosis. Analysis of CGM data (15 h) during TE#2 sessions revealed an overall improvement in glycemic average [± standard deviation] (104 ± 14 mg/dl
    Conclusion: In our pediatric series, the application of algorithmic adaptations of insulin doses and carbohydrate intake has globally improved glycemic control during 15 h after real-time exercises performed by children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

    Abstract Infections with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause severe disease. In young children, RSV is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract illness and life-threatening infections most commonly occur in the first years of life. In adults, elderly and immunocompromised people are most vulnerable. Recently there has been an acceleration in the development of candidate RSV vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and therapeutics which are expected to become available in Europe within the next 2-10 years. Understanding the true burden of childhood RSV disease will become very important to support public health authorities and policy makers in the assessment of new therapeutic opportunities against RSV disease. A systematic literature search was performed to map local data on the burden of RSV disease and to evaluate available RSV surveillance systems. A group of 9 paediatric infectious diseases specialists participated in an expert panel. The purpose of this meeting was to evaluate and map the burden associated with RSV infection in children, including patient pathways and the epidemiological patterns of virus circulation in Belgium. Sources of information on the burden of RSV disease in Belgium are very limited. For the outpatient setting, it is estimated that 5-10% of young patients seen in primary care are referred to the hospital. Around 3500 children between 0 and 12 months of age are hospitalized for RSV-bronchiolitis every year and represent the majority of all hospitalizations. The current Belgian RSV surveillance system was evaluated and found to be insufficient. Knowledge gaps are highlighted and future perspectives and priorities offered.
    Conclusion: The Belgian population-based RSV surveillance should be improved, and a hospital-led reporting system should be put in place to enable the evaluation of the true burden of RSV disease in Belgium and to improve disease management in the future.
    What is known: • RSV bronchiolitis is a very important cause of infant hospitalization. • The burden of disease in the community is poorly studied and underestimated.
    What is new: • This expert opinion summarizes knowledge gaps and offers insights that allow improvement of local surveillance systems in order to establish a future-proof RSV surveillance system.

    Abstract Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common chronic disease. This study aimed to verify the relationship between spirometry and exercise capacity in children, considering the CHD severity. All cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and Spirometry from CHD children (5-18 years) were retrospectively reviewed during three years. CPET and Spirometry were analyzed and correlated based on the CHD severity[modified Ross classification (mR)]. Patients (n = 321) were analyzed and subdivided for CHD severity (n = 49, n = 149, n = 80, n = 43, from mR1 to mR4, respectively). The maximal workload (Wmax) in mR1 and mR2 was higher than in patients from mR3 and mR4. Peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) was reduced in mR3 and mR4 compared to mR1 and mR2. Carbon dioxide output was only significantly lower in mR4. Although spirometric parameters were globally in the normal range, forced expiratory volume and forced vital capacity were different between subgroups (p < 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). Wmax and peakVO2 were weakly or moderately but significantly correlated with spirometry. Respiratory exchange ratio and final blood oxygen saturation were only significantly and weakly correlated to obstruction in small airways. The most severe CHD patients had lower exercise capacity and lung function parameters. A weak to moderate correlation between CPET and spirometry was found. However, the lung function reported in our study was normal, but with a negative correlation with the age. It reinforces the benefits of precocious and regularly spirometry and CPET assessment in CHD children.

    Abstract Background: Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Chorioamnionitis is an important risk factor for the development of sepsis, therefore neonates born to mothers developing signs of amnionitis need to be treated with antibiotics immediately after birth.
    Case presentation: We describe the case of a 29 weeks preterm infant born to a mother with
    Conclusions: Erythromycin should be administered in neonates only if no other choice is available, as although generally well tolerated, its administration can be associated with QTc interval prolongation. When no other option is available, paediatricians should be aware to perform cardiac monitoring or at least serial ECGs before and during erythromycin administration.

    Abstract Background: Aortic coarctation is among the most common cardiovascular congenital abnormalities requiring repair after birth. Besides mortality, morbidity remains an important aspect. Accordingly, we reviewed our 20-year experience of aortic coarctation repair by thoracotomy, with emphasis on both short- and long-term outcomes.
    Methods: From 1995 through 2014, 214 patients underwent coarctation repair via left thoracotomy. Associated arch lesions were distal arch hypoplasia (n = 117) or type A interrupted aortic arch (n = 6). Eighty-four patients had isolated coarctation (group 1), 66 associated ventricular septal defect (group 2), and 64 associated complex cardiac lesions (group 3). Median follow-up was 8.4 years.
    Results: There was one (0.5%) procedure-related death. Nine (4.2%) patients died during index admission. In-hospital mortality was 0.7% in group 1 and 2 and 12.5% in group 3 (
    Conclusions: Long-term results of aortic coarctation repair by thoracotomy are excellent, with percutaneous angioplasty being the procedure of choice for recurrences. Patient prognosis is dependent on associated cardiac malformations. In this study, the prevalence of late arterial hypertension was lower than previously reported.
