Article Abstract
A 3-year-old girl with a large ductus arteriosus had increased pulmonary vascular resistance at cardiac catheterisation. Test occlusion of the ductus arteriosus with a Nit-Occlud PDA-R device and hyperoxia decreased the pulmonary arterial pressure to < 50% of systemic level. The ductus was closed with the same device. Two years later, an echocardiogram showed normal pulmonary arterial pressure.

A Retrospective Multicenter Stratified Study on Perinatal Factors Influencing Neonatal Mortality in Preterm Infants in Kazakhstan.
Int J Pediatr

Department of Neonatology, Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University, Almaty, Kazakhstan.
This study is aimed at evaluating the cumulative effect of postnatal risk factors on the survival of preterm neonates by examining key clinical parameters and complications across various gestational ages. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from 1109 neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units at two tertiary regional hospitals in Kazakhstan between 2021 and 2024. Patients were classified into three groups based on gestational age: extremely preterm (< 28 weeks, = 223), very preterm (28-31 weeks, = 384), and moderate to late preterm (32-36 weeks, = 502).

Background: This study aimed to determine the optimal dosages of prostaglandin E1 required to maintain a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in infants with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) based on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) findings.
Methods: Infants with TGA were recruited from two groups (the historical control group and the POCUS group that received POCUS in combination with pulse oximetry saturation (SpO) to titrate the dose of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)).
Results: A total of 150 patients were included in this study.
Fetal 4D Flow CMR for Advanced Diagnostics of Congenital Heart Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital Bonn, Venusberg-Campus 1, 53127, Bonn, Germany.
Aims: Fetal circulation undergoes complex changes in congenital heart disease (CHD) that are challenging to assess with fetal echocardiography. This study aimed to assess clinical feasibility and diagnostic value of 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in fetal CHD.
Methods And Results: Pregnant women in advanced third trimester pregnancy with fetal CHD were prospectively recruited for fetal CMR between 08/2021 and 11/2024.

Subaortic membrane (SAM) is a subtype of left ventricular outflow obstruction, rarely seen in adults. In some cases, SAM may be associated with other congenital defects. The association of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and SAM is the rarest, especially in adult patients.

Background: Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) is a rare bleeding disorder due to a deficiency of von Willebrand factor (VWF). High shear stress causes stretching and rupture of VWF multimers, leading to functional loss and increased proteolysis. This occurs in cardiovascular diseases, reducing high-molecular-weight multimers (HMWMs).
