OBJECTIVE. Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) and plastic bronchitis are serious complications
that occur after single-ventricle surgery. A lymphatic cause for these conditions has been …

Background The Fontan operation is performed for surgical palliation of single ventricle
physiology. This operation is usually preceded by a superior cavopulmonary connection (SCPC)…

Background— Systemic-pulmonary collateral (SPC) flow occurs commonly in single ventricle
patients after superior cavo-pulmonary connection, with unclear clinical significance. We …

OBJECTIVE. Anomalous left coronary artery from the inappropriate aortic sinus with intraseptal
course is generally benign but can be confused on imaging studies with the potentially …

Background— Systemic-to-pulmonary collateral flow (SPCF) is common in single-ventricle
patients with superior cavopulmonary connections (SCPC). Because no validated method to …

The investigators recently validated a method of quantifying systemic–to–pulmonary arterial
collateral flow using phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging velocity mapping. Cross-…

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used to diagnose
myocarditis in adults but its use in children is not well-established. We sought to describe the …

A liquid–liquid transition (LLT) is a transformation from one liquid to another through a first-order
transition. The LLT is fundamental to the understanding of the liquid state and has been …

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy, rheology, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
are employed to study molecular dynamics in a nanoparticle organic hybrid material (…

Objectives : This study investigated whether cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and
echocardiography (echo) can replace catheterization (cath) for routine evaluation prior to Fontan …
