AbstractThis December Issue of Cardiology in the Young represents the 12th annual publication generated from the two meetings that compose “HeartWeek in Florida”. “HeartWeek in Florida”, the joint collaborative project sponsored by the Cardiac Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, together with Johns Hopkins All Children’s Heart Institute of Saint Petersburg, Florida, averages over 1000 attendees every year and is now recognised as one of the major planks of continuing medical and nursing education for those working in the fields of diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease in the foetus, neonate, infant, child, and adult. “HeartWeek in Florida” combines the International Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease, organised by All Children’s Hospital and Johns Hopkins Medicine and entering its 15th year, with the Annual Postgraduate Course in Pediatric Cardiovascular Disease, organised by The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and entering its 18th year. This December, 2014 Issue of Cardiology in the Young features highlights of Johns Hopkins All Children’s Heart Institute’s 14th Annual International Symposium on Congenital Heart Disease, which was held at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, Saint Petersburg, Florida, from 15–18 February, 2014. This Symposium was co-sponsored by The American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) and had as its special focus “Diseases of the Cardiac Valves from the Fetus to the Adult”. We acknowledge the tremendous contributions made to paediatric and congenital cardiac care by Duke Cameron and Joel Brenner, and therefore we dedicate this December, 2014 HeartWeek Issue of Cardiology in the Young to them. Duke Cameron is Professor of Surgery at Johns Hopkins University and Cardiac Surgeon-in-Charge at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Joel Brenner is Professor of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University and Director of the Taussig Heart Center at Bloomberg Children’s Center, The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Together, Joel and Duke lead the proud paediatric and congenital cardiac programme at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Despite the vast experience accumulated during the past decade with all aspects of the lives and deaths of patients with congenital heart disease, there is still room for the clarification and direction that careful, informed, imaginative analysis of the results of pathological examination of postmortem material can give to the clinical management of these patients. Dr. Sherman has made a notable contribution in this area with the present volume. The atlas was compiled from 503 specimens collected in the Museum of Congenital Heart Disease at the Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh since 1954.

Abstract Abstract 4341 Background: Transfusion services must offer means of issuing blood products quickly for emergent transfusions. At Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH), off-site refrigerators were installed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the LPCH operating room (OR) and the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) inventoried with uncrossmatched O negative RBCs for immediate emergency use. Uncrossmatched O negative RBCs are also provided to children undergoing cardiac catheterization at the discretion of the Pediatric Cardiologist, since these patients commonly do not have type and screen samples drawn until large vessel venous cannulation via insertion of the catheter. Uncrossmatched blood products are also provided for children per our massive transfusion protocol (MTP). The purpose of this study was to assess the utilization of these uncrossmatched blood products in children and its impact on transfusion service (TS) inventory of O negative RBCs. Methods: Orders received for emergency-release uncrossmatched RBCs for patients ages 0 days to 18 years including MTPs from January 1 2011 to March 31 2011 were evaluated retrospectively. Variables collected include: patient demographic information and diagnosis; blood products ordered, released and transfused; location of the patient and location from where blood was dispensed (off-site refrigerator versus [vs] TS). Results: Median patient age was 3.46 years (range 0 days to 15.62 years), and 82% of the patients had congenital heart disease. Sixty four RBCs were issued to 33 patients during the 3-month study period. Of those, 32 RBCs were transfused, 8 RBCs were wasted because temperature parameters were exceeded before return to the TS, and 24 RBCs (38%) were not transfused and returned to TS inventory. Nineteen of the 32 RBCs were transfused, representing 2% of the total 964 O negative RBC units transfused at our institution for that time period. Nineteen (58%) units were for children in the cardiac catheterization suite. Seven patients were in the CVICU, five children were in the NICU, and two were in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Two units of O negative RBCs were dispensed from the emergency off-site refrigerator in the CVICU. Discussion: The majority of children (79%) who received emergency-release uncrossmatched O negative RBCs at LPCH were those with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac catheterization or being cared for post-operatively in the CVICU. There were 2 instances of children requiring RBCs from off-site refrigerators for an emergent transfusion. Emergency-release, uncrossmatched O negative RBCs at LPCH either from the TS or from three off-site refrigerators caused no undue strain on our supply and inventory of donor O negative RBCs. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

<p><strong>Background.</strong> A quality of surgical care evaluation based solely on workload and hospital mortality is incomplete. ECHSA Congenital Database integrated tools provide complexity-adjusted methods to evaluate surgical results and the surgical performance of a hospital, and make it possible to demonstrate hospital service level among other congenital heart programmes.</p><p><strong>Methods.</strong> Data on 2,521 operations in a population of children, including 532 newborns, with congenital heart disease (CHD) were uploaded on the European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association Congenital Database. These data were collected between 2012 and 2018 at the Filatov Children's Hospital. We compared our personal results with database mean values according to the following criteria: 1) proportion of newborns among all paediatric surgical cases, 2) hospital mortality, 3) Aristotle Basic Score (ABS) value, 4) STS-EACTS Mortality Score (MtS) value, and 5) MtS Performance value. All data on the database website were analysed using integrated database tools.</p><p><strong>Results.</strong> The proportion of newborns in the Filatov Children's Hospital was 21.1%, while the database mean value was 18.6%, and hospital mortality values were 3.89% and 3.61%, respectively. The mean ABS in the Filatov Children's Hospital was 6.78 ± 2.08, while that on the database was 6.57 ± 2.12 (Z-score = 0.075). The mean MtS values for the hospital and database were 0.74 ± 0.59 and 0.72 ± 0.64, respectively (Z-score = 0.031). The calculated MtS performance for the Filatov Children's Hospital was 0.72 ± 0.56, while that for all European respondents was 0.54 ± 0.29 (Z-score = 0.603).</p><p><strong>Conclusion.</strong> Cooperation with a multicentre international database, such as ECHSA Congenital Database, provides modern complexity-adjusted tools for evaluation of quality of care for children with CHD. The Filatov Children’s Hospital is a high-volume cardiac surgery centre that demonstrates an adequate survival rate regarding complexity level and surgical risk compared to European respondents of the ECHSA Congenital Database.</p><p>Received 19 October 2020.

A device to plug holes in the heart without open-heart surgery has been available for a decade. James Lock, M.D., chief cardiologist at Children’s Hospital Boston, developed his clamshell occluder for that purpose and also developed the CardioSEAL StarFlex, a newer model of that device. The StarFlex allows for the umbrella device to center itself to plug larger holes.
