Zysk, S. Bechtold, Susanne Netz, Natalie https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/3998 2018-01-31T13:55:30Z 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Head-up-tilt testing in children : new perspectives using beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring Authors: Dalla Pozza, Robert; Kleinmann, A.; Zysk, S.; Bechtold, Susanne; Netz, Natalie Abstract: The head-up-tilt-test in pediatric patients for the evaluation of syncope shows a sensitivity of 35-85% and often requires pharmacological stimulation in order to improve its diagnostic value. This article describes the use of a new device for beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring combined with impedance cardiography in a 12-year-old girl during tilt testing. A seven seconds asystolia was provoked. The haemodynamic parameters showed clearly the drop in heart rate as well as in cardiac output, and returned to normal values after tilting back the patient. With the help of this new monitoring device, the sensitivity and specificity of head-up-tilt-testing can probably be improved. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z Stent implantation for coarctation facilitated by the anterograde trans-septal approach Sreeram, Narayanswami DeGiovanni, Joseph V. https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/3994 2018-01-09T11:23:36Z 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Stent implantation for coarctation facilitated by the anterograde trans-septal approach Authors: Sreeram, Narayanswami; DeGiovanni, Joseph V. Abstract: This article includes a case report of women with coarctation of the aorta which was treated with stent implantation. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z Stenting of the aortic arch as an emergency palliation of aortic dissection after cardiac surgery in an infant Emmel, Matthias Alexander Sreeram, Narayanswami Brockmeier, Konrad https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/3993 2018-07-20T11:02:38Z 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Stenting of the aortic arch as an emergency palliation of aortic dissection after cardiac surgery in an infant Authors: Emmel, Matthias Alexander; Sreeram, Narayanswami; Brockmeier, Konrad Abstract: Aortic dissection with low cardiac output is an acute emergency and immediate therapy is mandatory. It is however a disease of the elderly. This article reports on an infant who developed acute aortic dissection following cardiac surgery, for whom stent implantation was performed. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z
