Decreased endothelial micro-RNA-30b-5p impairs angiogenesis in fetal lambs with persistent pulmonary hypertension

Sunil K. Sati, Ujala Rana, Chintamani Joshi, Ru-Jeng Teng, Girija G. KonduriMedical College of Wisconsin.United States Pediatric ResearchPediatr Res 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s41390-025-04098-7 AbstractBackground: Impaired angiogenesis contributes to increased pulmonary vascular resistance in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Notch signaling, critical to lung angiogenesis, is modulated by micro-RNAs (miR). RNA sequencing of pulmonary arterial endothelial cells […]

A catheter-based interventional strategy redirects hepatic vein flows after Fontan procedure in left isomerism to treat severe hypoxemia

Kothandam SivakumarMadras Medical Mission.India Annals of Pediatric CardiologyAnn Pediatr Cardiol 2022; 15: 212-215DOI: 10.4103/apc.apc_80_21 AbstractPulmonary arteriovenous malformations after the Kawashima procedure causing severe hypoxemia are treated by Fontan surgery that redirects hepatic venous blood to the pulmonary circulation. Alignment of the hepatic venous conduit toward both pulmonary arteries is crucial for their regression. Persistent hypoxemia due

Management of an asymptomatic pulmonary arteriovenous fistula diagnosed prenatally by detachable balloon embolization: a case report

Wenjuan Li, Pengjun Zhao, Sun Chen Xinhua Hospital, Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.China European Heart Journal Case ReportsEur Heart J Case Rep 2025; DOI: 10.1093/ehjcr/ytaf038 AbstractBackground: Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (PAVFs) are abnormal vascular malformations that connect pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, resulting in a right-to-left shunt. This anatomical shunt leads to a decrease in
