    Abstract Allergic reactions to components of cardiac implantable electronic devices are rare and often go undiagnosed, which can lead to a misdiagnosis of device infection. Contact allergy to subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is extremely rare. In this report, we present a case of cobalt-related contact allergy in a pediatric patient with Brugada syndrome who underwent S-ICD implantation.

    Abstract Conventional nonirrigated catheters cannot be able to create adequate lesions for effective slow pathway modulation in certain cases of pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia ablation. Irrigated contact force sensing catheters may be considered in pediatric and adolescent patients to obtain a more extensive slow pathway modulation for redo ablation, avoiding dangerous radiofrequency applications close to the compact atrioventricular node or complex left-sided procedures.

    Abstract In the setting of an Ebstein's anomaly, a right-to-left shunt via a patent foramen ovale (PFO) may be the cause of a significant cyanosis. In these patients, the PFO closure is able to improve the arterial saturation. Furthermore, a partial closure is often recommended to obtain a reduction in the PFO right-left shunt without a significant impact on the right chamber hemodynamics. However, in some cases, a complex PFO anatomy may prevent an effective device closure. We describe the case of a patient with Ebstein's anomaly and a significant cyanosis due to a right-to-left shunt via the PFO wherein an effective partial PFO closure with a suture-mediated NobleStitch EL system was achieved in a setting of a complex PFO anatomy (large aneurismatic septum, long stiff tunnel, and hypertrophic septum secundum) after a failed device-closure attempt.

    Abstract Limited data are available on the use of irrigated contact force (CF) catheters for radiofrequency (RF) ablation of permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) in children. We considered five consecutive pediatric patients with diagnosis of PJRT who underwent RF ablation with irrigated CF catheter guided by electroanatomic mapping, obtaining a low number of RF pulses and minimal fluoroscopy exposure. High CF values are not necessary to obtain effective RF lesions and successful ablation.

    Abstract Cor triatriatum dexter is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that is caused by the partitioning of the right atrium by a broad sheet of tissue due to the persistence of the right sinus venosus valve. We describe a rare case of prominent right sinus venosus valve (cor triatriatum dexter) with consequent right-to-left shunt across the patent foramen ovale in a newborn with significant cyanosis.

    Abstract We report a rare case of vascular ring due to a left cervical circumflex aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery arising from a Kommerell diverticulum. This is a very rare case of vascular ring in a newborn with stridor and stenosis of the left pulmonary artery. A cardiac catheterization and an angio-computed tomography scan were helpful to clarify the diagnosis. The surgical correction was performed with division of the arterial duct, reimplantation of the right subclavian artery, aortic and tracheal suspension, and pulmonary arterial plasty. The patient was asymptomatic at discharge and 1-year follow-up.

    Abstract In the recent years, the pregnancy trend among women with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) has increased; this has leaded to a growing demand for specialized care both in mother and in children. Although pregnancy is often well tolerated, maternal CHD may affect in some cases a maladaptive hemodynamic response carrying additional risks of cardiovascular events like arrhythmias, heart failure and, in rare cases, death. The impaired utero-placental perfusion due to maternal cardiac status may result in placental dysfunction, which may be associated with fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, premature birth and perinatal morbidity. Systemic Right Ventricle (SRV) is one of the main conditions under which pregnancy is challenging. The sub-aortic position of morphological Right Ventricle (RV) is "physiologically" predisposed to fail at the adult age and may be potentially inadequate to support the hemodynamic stress of the pregnancy. Current literature about pregnancy in women with SRV consists of small retrospective series not providing conclusive evidence about the feasibility of a successful pregnancy outcomes. In addition, the long-term effects of pregnancy on SVR are not still adequately investigated and it remains unclear if maternal complications reported are due to pregnancy or to natural history of SVR. The aim of this paper is to offer a critical review of the knowledges at regard and to provide a practice update on the risk assessment and the pregnancy management in women with SRV in order to support the decision making and to optimize outcomes in these patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Paediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH) represents a heterogeneous illness that is responsible for high morbidity and mortality if left without treatment. Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a subtype of PAH rarely seen in paediatrics. Limited long-term data are available.
    Methods: Over a period of 20 years, 10 paediatric patients were enrolled at two tertiary centres. Their clinical, echocardiographic, and right heart catheterisation (RHC) features and outcome were evaluated.
    Results: The mean age at first diagnosis was 5.7 ± 5.7 years. The age at the last follow-up was 12.4 ± 6.1 years. The average follow-up was 6.6 ± 0.8 years. There was a female prevalence of 60% (
    Conclusions: Notwithstanding the progress in medical therapy, IPAH continues to represent a serious challenge, particularly in the paediatric population, with the need for lung transplantation and significant mortality.

    Abstract Introduction: Brain metastases (BrM), which commonly arise in patients with melanoma, breast cancer and lung cancer, are associated with a poor clinical prognosis. In this context, the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role since it either promotes or inhibits tumor progression. Our previous studies have characterized the immunosuppressive microenvironment of glioblastoma (GBM). The aim of this study is to compare the immune profiles of BrM and GBM in order to identify potential differences that may be exploited in their differential treatment.
    Methods: Tumor and/or blood samples were taken from 20 BrM patients and 19 GBM patients. Multi-parametric flow cytometry was used to evaluate myeloid and lymphoid cells, as well as the expression of immune checkpoints in the TME and blood. In selected cases, the immunosuppressive ability of sorted myeloid cells was tested, and the
    Results: High frequencies of myeloid cells dominated both the BrM and GBM landscapes, but a higher presence of tumor-associated macrophages was observed in GBM, while BrM were characterized by a significant presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Exhaustion markers were highly expressed in all T cells from both primary and metastatic brain tumors.
    Discussion: Our results define the main characteristics of the immune profile of BrM and GBM, which are distinguished by different levels of immunosuppressive myeloid cells and lymphocytes devoid of effector function. Understanding the role of the different cells in establishing the metastatic setting is critical for improving the therapeutic efficacy of new targeted immunotherapy strategies.
