Abstract	Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common arrhythmia in neonates and infants, and pharmacological therapy is recommended to prevent recurrent episodes. This retrospective study aims to describe and analyze the practice patterns, effectiveness, and outcome of drug therapy for SVT in patients within the first year of life. Among the 67 patients analyzed, 48 presented with atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia, 18 with focal atrial, and one with atrioventricular nodal re-entrant. Fetal tachycardia was reported in 27%. Antiarrhythmic treatment consisted of beta-receptor blocking agents in 42 patients, propafenone in 20, amiodarone in 20, and digoxin in 5. Arrhythmia control was achieved with single drug therapy in 70% of the patients, 21% needed dual therapy, and 6% triple. Propafenone was discontinued in 7 infants due to widening of the QRS complex. After 12 months (6-60), 75% of surviving patients were tachycardia-free and discontinued prophylactic treatment. Patients with fetal tachycardia had a significantly higher risk of persistent tachycardia (p: 0.007). Prophylactic antiarrhythmic medication for SVT in infancy is safe and well tolerated. Arrhythmia control is often achieved with single medication, and after cessation, most patients are free of arrhythmias. Infants with SVT and a history of fetal tachycardia are more prone to suffer from persistent SVT and relapses after cessation of prophylactic antiarrhythmic medication than infants with the first episode of SVT after birth.

Abstract	Background: The period between stage I and II procedure for treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) bears high mortality and morbidity. Methods: We sought to analyze the prognostic value of Troponin T/I (Trop), a well-recognized marker for myocardial damage and heart failure, for predicting outcome in a retrospective analysis of 70 infants with HLHS at our institution between March 2001 and October 2014. Results: Stage I procedure consisted of Norwood I operation in 35 (50%) and Hybrid-approach in 22 (31%) patients. Palliative care was chosen for 13 (19%) patients. Trop values were collected from clinical charts and were analyzed in relation to the overall outcome. Trop was significantly higher after Norwood I operation in comparison to Hybrid-approach (median 7.1 μg/l (0.7-20.9), vs 1.2 μg/l (0.3-17.9), Conclusions: Patients with HLHS have significantly higher Trop levels after Norwood procedure than after Hybrid-approach. Maximal Trop values were related to mortality, but did not correlate with the need for reinterventions.

Abstract	Purpose: The pediatric population has benefited greatly by the evolution of ventricular assist devices (VADs) leading to miniaturization. Device design like the HeartWare® VAD allows for implantation in smaller patients or even as an implantable biventricular assist device. Case report: A ten-year-old female patient (body surface area: 1.02 m2, 27 kg) waiting for 7 months for heart transplantation was admitted to the intensive care unit due to terminal heart failure. Transthoracal echocardiography revealed heart failure with an estimated ejection fraction of 15%, dilated left ventricle, moderate tricuspid and mitral regurgitation. Despite maximal medical therapy (including milrinone and 1 course of Levosimendan intravenous), her condition further worsened and mechanical circulatory support was indicated.After implantation of a HeartWare HVAD® device as an LVAD, a second pump was implanted as a right VAD (RVAD). The sewing ring of the HVAD was attached to the lateral wall of the right atrium. The device was implanted so that the axis of the inflow cannula was pointing towards the tricuspid valve. The outflow graft was anastomosed to the pulmonary artery truncus; the outflow graft diameter was not narrowed. Anticoagulation with IV heparin was started 8 hours postoperatively with a target antifactor Xa level of 0.3 to 0.6 IU/ml. The patient was extubated after 26 hours and fully mobilized. BVAD settings were: 2,300 revolutions per minute, calculated flow: 3.2 liters per minute and 2.7 W for the left side and 2,080 revolutions per minute, calculated flow: 3.3 L per minute and 2.1 W for the right side.

Abstract	Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a general term that describes the short- or long-term support of the heart and/or lungs in neonates, children and adults. Due to favorable results and a steady decline in absolute contraindications, its use is increasing worldwide. Indications in children differ from those in adults. The ECMO circuit as well as cannulation strategies also are individualized, considering their implications in children. The aim of this article is to review the clinical indications, different circuits, and cannulation strategies for ECMO. We also present our institutional experience with 92 pediatric ECMO patients (34 neonates, 58 pediatric) with the majority (80%) of veno-arterial placements between 2014 until 2018. We further to also highlight ECMO use in the setting of cardiac arrest [extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or eCPR].

Abstract	Objectives: Dobutamine and milrinone are commonly used after open-heart surgery to prevent or treat low cardiac output syndrome. We sought to compare efficacy and safety of these drugs in pediatric patients. Design: Prospective, single-center, double-blinded, randomized clinical pilot study. Setting: Tertiary-care university children's hospital postoperative pediatric cardiac ICU. Patients: After written consent, 50 consecutive patients (age, 0.2-14.2 yr; median, 1.2 yr) undergoing open-heart surgery for congenital malformations were included. Interventions: After cardiopulmonary bypass, a continuous infusion of either dobutamine or milrinone was administered for the first 36 postoperative hours. Maximum dose: dobutamine 6 µg/kg/min, milrinone 0.75 µg/kg/min. Measurements and main results: There were no significant differences in demographic data, complexity of surgery, and intraoperative characteristics between the two study groups (dobutamine vs milrinone). Efficacy was defined as need for additional vasoactive support, which did not differ between groups (dobutamine 61% vs milrinone 67%; p = 0.71). Sodium nitroprusside was used more often in the dobutamine group (42% vs 13%; p = 0.019). Systolic blood pressure showed a trend toward higher values in the dobutamine group, whereas both drugs increased heart rate early postoperatively. Echocardiography demonstrated a consistently good cardiac function in both groups. Central venous oxygen saturation, serum lactate levels, urine output, time to chest tube removal, length of mechanical ventilation, ICU, and hospital stay were similar in both groups. Both drugs were well tolerated, no serious adverse events occurred. Conclusions: Dobutamine and milrinone are safe, well tolerated, and equally effective in prevention of low cardiac output syndrome after pediatric cardiac surgery. The hemodynamic response of the two drugs is comparable. In uncomplicated cases, a trend toward the more cost-saving dobutamine might be anticipated; however, milrinone demonstrated a trend toward higher efficacy in afterload reduction.

Abstract	We sought to evaluate the impact of prenatal diagnosis on morbidity and mortality in single ventricle (SV) lesions. All consecutive patients with pre- or postnatally diagnosed SV physiology admitted to our centre between January 2001 and June 2013 were reviewed. Primary endpoints included survival until 30 days after bidirectional cavopulmonary connection (BCPC) without transplant or BCPC takedown. Prenatal diagnosis was performed in 160 of 259 cases (62%). After excluding all cases with termination of pregnancy, intrauterine demise or treated with comfort care, a total of 180 neonates were admitted to our centre for treatment, including 87 with a prenatal and 93 with a postnatal diagnosis. Both groups showed similar distribution regarding diagnosis, dominant ventricle and risk factors such as restrictive foramen or some form of atrial isomerism. A larger proportion of postnatally diagnosed children presented at admission with elevated lactate > 10 mmol/l (p = 0.02), a higher dose of prostaglandin (p = 0.0013) and need for mechanical ventilation (p < 0.0001). Critical lesions such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome were an important determinant for morbidity and mortality. Thirty-days survival after BCPC was better in patients with prenatal diagnosis (p = 0.025). Prenatal diagnosis is associated with higher survival in neonates with SV physiology.

Abstract	Background: Patients with bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis have unphysiologically high superior caval vein pressure as it equals pulmonary artery pressure. Elevated superior caval vein pressure may cause communicating hydrocephalus and macrocephaly. This study analysed whether there exists an association between head circumference and superior caval vein pressure in patients with single ventricle physiology. Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of infants undergoing Fontan completion at our institution from 2007 to 2013. Superior caval vein pressures were measured during routine catheterisation before bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis and Fontan completion as well as head circumference, adjusted to longitudinal age-dependent percentiles. Results: We included 74 infants in our study. Median ages at bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis and Fontan were 4.8 (1.6-12) and 27.9 (7-40.6) months, respectively. Head circumference showed significant growth from bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis until Fontan completion (7th (0-100th) versus 20th (0-100th) percentile). There was no correlation between superior caval vein pressure and head circumference before Fontan (R2=0.001). Children with lower differences in superior caval vein pressures between pre-bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis and pre-Fontan catheterisations showed increased growth of head circumference (R2=0.19). Conclusions: Patients with moderately elevated superior caval vein pressure associated with single ventricle physiology did not have a tendency to develop macrocephaly. There is no correlation between superior caval vein pressure before Fontan and head circumference, but between bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis and Fontan head circumference increases significantly. This may be explained by catch-up growth of head circumference in patients with more favourable haemodynamics and concomitant venous pressures in the lower range. Further studies with focus on high superior caval vein pressures are needed to exclude or prove a correlation.
