Although blood cardioplegia provides excellent protection, myocardial metabolic recovery is
delayed. To evaluate the benefits of a terminal warm cardioplegic infusion after cold blood …

A retrospective study of adults with Eisenmenger syndrome assessed at a tertiary referral
center was performed to identify clinical characteristics and establish prognostic determinants. …

Outcomes of device closure of large and small secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) as related
to rim anatomy with the Amplatzer atrial septal occluder were compared. Rim adequacy (…
