Underlying conditions include the presence of umbilical artery catheters, thrombosed aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus, sepsis and different states of inherited thrombophilia. Treatment options include anticoagulation, thrombolytic therapy and thrombectomy. Due to the lack of large studies, neither diagnosis nor treatment of neonatal aortic thrombosis are standardized. Patients: From 2008-2010, 1 neonate and 1 infant were admitted to our hospital with symptomatic aortic thrombosis. Methods and Results: In both patients, diagnosis was made by Doppler ultrasound. Both patients were effectively treated with recombinant tissuetype plasminogen activator. Diagnosis and treatment of 2 infants with symptomatic aortic thrombosis are discussed and the literature is reviewed. Conclusions: Since aortic thrombosis is a life-threatening condition, early diagnosis by Doppler ultrasound is mandatory to initiate treatment without delay. Thrombolytic therapy is a safe measure to treat this condition if administered with caution and if the patient has not suffered from serious complications such as mesenteric infarction or renal failure prior to begin of therapy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1055/s-0031-1295421"],["dc.identifier.isi","000305171500013"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22377739"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/26525"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Georg Thieme Verlag Kg"],["dc.relation.issn","0300-8630"],["dc.title","Thrombosis of the Aorta Abdominalis in Infants - Diagnosis and Thrombolytic Therapy"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

There are data which were gathered prior to the introduction of modern 3D mapping and navigation systems into the clinical routine. Accordingly, procedures were associated with significant fluoroscopy and low success rates. The aim of this study was to present clinical and electrophysiological details of catheter ablation of pediatric FAT using modern mapping systems. Since March 2003, 17 consecutive patients < 20 years underwent electrophysiological study (EPS) for FAT using the NavX(A (R)) system (n = 7), the non-contact mapping system (n = 6) or the LocaLisa(A (R)) system (n = 4), respectively. Radiofrequency was the primary energy source; cryoablation was performed in selected patients with a focus close to the AV node. In 16 patients, a total number of 19 atrial foci (right-sided n = 13, left-sided n = 6) could be targeted. In the remaining patient, FAT was not present/inducible during EPS. On an intention-to-treat basis, acute success was achieved in 14/16 patients (87.5 %) with a median number of 11 (1-31) energy applications. Ablation was unsuccessful in two patients due to an epicardial location of a right atrial focus (n = 1) and a focus close to the His bundle (n = 1), respectively. Median procedure time was 210 (84-332) min, and median fluoroscopy time was 13.1 (4.5-22.5) min.

However, almost no data exists on the use of this technology in catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in patients with congenital heart disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of contact force monitoring during catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in those patients. Methods Catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia using monitoring of catheter contact force was performed in 28 patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Thirty-two patients matched according to gender, age, and body weight with congenital heart disease undergoing catheter ablation without contact force monitoring served as control group. Parameters reflecting acute procedural success, long-term efficacy, and safety were compared. Results Acute procedural success was statistically not different in both groups (contact force 93 % vs. control 84 %, p = 0.3). Likewise the recurrence rate 1 year after ablation as shown by Kaplan-Meier analysis did not differ (contact force 28 % vs. control 37 %, p = 0.63). Major complications were restricted to groin vessel injuries and occurred in 3 out of 60 patients (contact force n= 1; control n = 2). Complications related to excessive catheter contact force were not observed. Conclusion The present study did not show superiority of catheter contact force monitoring during ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in patients with CHD in terms of efficacy and safety. Higher contact force compared to pulmonary vein isolation might therefore be required to increase the efficacy of catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in patients with congenital heart disease."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10840-015-0096-z"],["dc.identifier.isi","000384843600016"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26743070"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/39914"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1572-8595"],["dc.relation.issn","1383-875X"],["dc.title","Contact force monitoring during catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in patients with congenital heart disease"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We report our experience in transbaffle access (TBA) to the PVA for ablation of atrial re-entrant tachycardia focusing on technical details. Methods and results In eight patients, six after Mustard procedure and two with a Fontan circulation, endocardial mapping of atrial re-entrant tachycardia revealed the critical part of the re-entry circuit within the PVA. A total of 10 ablation procedures were performed. Detailed angiographic assessment of the anatomy of the systemic and pulmonary venous atria was performed prior to baffle puncture. Transbaffle access was successfully established with a standard transseptal needle in 9 of 10 procedures. No major complications occurred. At the end of the procedure and the removal of the transseptal sheath, there was no residual shunt in any patient.
