    The effect of nursing care and follow-up for mothers of infants undergoing congenital heart surgery: a quasi-experimental study
    (2023) Ay, Ayse; Koc, Gulten; 36124651
    Improvements in congenital heart surgery have resulted in an increasing number of infants surviving, but there remain concerns about home care and difficulties experienced by mothers. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of nursing care and follow-up for the mothers of infants undergoing congenital heart surgery on anxiety, care burden, and self-efficacy. The study was designed as a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The study included 40 mothers whose infants had undergone congenital heart surgery. Nursing care was provided to the mothers of the infants included in the study group through a total of six home follow-ups until the third month after surgery, guided by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association and Nursing Diagnosis System and Nursing Interventions Classification. Data were collected through Care Needs Identification Form, Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Zarit Burden Interview, and Parental Self-efficacy Scale. The mean State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Zarit Burden Interview scores for the mothers in the intervention group decreased, while the mean Parental Self-efficacy Scale scores increased as the follow-up progressed and it was determined that by the third month, the difference between the mothers in the intervention group and those in the control group in terms of post-test State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Zarit Burden Interview, and Parental Self-efficacy Scale had become statistically significant. Providing appropriate nursing care practices to the mothers of the infants had undergone congenital heart surgery in home setting has the potential to decrease the problems experienced by the mothers.

    The year 2019 in the European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging: part II
    (2020) Cosyns, Bernard; Haugaa, Kristina H.; Gerber, Bernrhard; Gimelli, Alessia; Sade, Leyla Elif; Maurer, Gerald; Popescu, Bogdan A.; Edvardsen, Thor; 33188688
    The European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging was Launched in 2012 and has during these years become one of the leading multimodality cardiovascular imaging journal. The journal is now established as one of the top cardiovascular journals and is the most important cardiovascular imaging journal in Europe. The most important studies published in our Journal from 2019 will be highlighted in two reports. Part II will focus on valvular heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and congenital heart disease. While Part I of the review has focused on studies about myocardial function and risk prediction, myocardial ischaemia, and emerging techniques in cardiovascular imaging.

    The results of interventional catheterization in infants weighing under 2,000 g
    (2019) Varan, Birgul; Tokel, N. Kursad; Yakut, Kahraman; Erdogan, Ilkay; Ozkan, Murat; 32082877
    Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the early and mid-term results of interventional cardiac catheterization and procedure-related complications in infants weighing <2,000 g. Methods: Between May 1998 and April 2017, 22 patients (14 males, 8 females; mean age 14 +/- 8.4 days; range, 1 to 30 days) weighing < 2,000 g who underwent a total of 23 interventional cardiac catheterization were retrospectively analyzed. Procedures were balloon coarctation angioplasty in 14, balloon atrial septostomy in five, balloon aortic valvuloplasty in one, balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in one, patent ductus arteriosus closure in one, and stent placement in the ductus in one patient. Another patient underwent balloon coarctation angioplasty and balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the same session. Results: The overall success rate of the interventional procedures was 95.6%. The mean follow-up was 3.2 +/- 1.6 years (range, 1 to 5.5) for 18 patients with available records. The rate of serious complications was 18%. The most frequent complications in the early period were low hemoglobin levels requiring erythrocyte suspension transfusion (54.5%) and vascular injury (54.5%). Two patients required reintervention, one patient required surgery after the second intervention, and three patients required only surgery. Six patients underwent palliative interventional procedures, and interventional procedures led to definitive treatment in five patients. Conclusion: The mortality and morbidity rate of surgery is high in premature under 2,000 g infants and interventional heart catheterization can be life-saving in this patient group, although it is associated with significant complications in low birth weight newborns.
