Lipshultz et al contend that, adopting the published recommendations would be deleterious to patient care. Their discussion, however, is supported by hypothetical inferences and selective quotation of the CCSG article and its references, rather than by data.

Diagnosis and management of arrhythmias remain the predominant use of these techniques. Structural heart disease can be completely characterized by two‐dimensional andDoppler examination. Such studies enhance our understanding of heart disease and also provide the family and patient care team with valuable information for the planning of neonatal management. These advances in technology and emphasis on increased fetal salvage are expected to usher in the next age of surgical intervention in the fetus with structural heart disease. The ability to examine the fetus at increasingly earlier stages of gestation will provide invaluable means for unraveling the secrets of the origins of many cardiovascular alternations.

Despite the worldwide burden to patient wellbeing and health system resource utilization, tracking of long-term outcomes is lacking, limiting the delivery and measurement of high-value care. To begin transitioning to value-based healthcare in CHD, the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement aligned an international collaborative of CHD experts, patient representatives, and other stakeholders to construct a standard set of outcomes and risk-adjustment variables that are meaningful to patients. Methods and results The primary aim was to identify a minimum standard set of outcomes to be used by health systems worldwide. The methodological process included four key steps: (i) develop a working group representative of all CHD stakeholders; (ii) conduct extensive literature reviews to identify scope, outcomes of interest, tools used to measure outcomes, and case-mix adjustment variables; (iii)...

Palliation of single ventricle with the Glenn or Fontan procedure creates obstacles for correct catheter placement. Transesophageal echocardiography(TEE) has been used to monitor RFCA in children without structural congenital heart disease (CHD) and during interventional catheterization procedures. This report describes our experience with TEE guidance of RFCA in children with palliated single ventricle. Biplane TEE imaging was used to guide mapping and RFCA in 4 children aged 1.5–13 yr. with wt 11–43 kg. Three patients had membranous tricuspid atresia (TA) with WPW and 1 patient had double inlet left ventricle (DILV) with a left atrial ectopic focus. All patients had previously undergone palliation for single ventricle: Glenn shunt (1) or modification of the Fontan procedure (3). On line TEE images guided 1-location of the tricuspid annulus in TA, 2- crossing of a surgically created ASD, 3-retrograde entry of the RV via a Glenn shunt, and 4- retrograde entry of the LV via a Stansel anastomosis. All 4 TEE guided ablations were successful with no early or late complications. Conclusions Real time TEE images can successfully guide catheter placement in children with palliated single ventricle undergoing RFCA and is superior to fluoroscopy in identifying specific anatomic landmarks.
