Publication The role of external loop recorders in arrhythmia-related symptoms in children: A single center experience(Springer, 2021-08-13) Akça, Tuğberk; Uysal, Fahrettin; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; Genç, Abdusselam; Türkmen, Hasan; AKÇA, TUĞBERK; UYSAL, FAHRETTİN; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; GENÇ, ABDÜSSELAM; TÜRKMEN, HASAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Kardiyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0001-7707-2174; 0000-0002-2747-974X; AEX-4557-2022; AAH-4421-2021; AAG-8558-2021; CQK-7120-2022; JKC-8556-2023In this study, we report our experience with the use of external loop recorders (ELRs), in terms of diagnostic efficiency according to symptoms and symptom-rhythm correlation in pediatric patients. We evaluated ELRs applied to 178 patients between April 2017 and November 2020 at our center. The mean age of 172 patients included in the study was 13.6 +/- 3.8 years, and 69.8% were female. ELR indications were palpitations in 98 (56.9%) cases, chest pain and palpitations in 43 (25%) cases, presyncope/syncope in 28 (16.2%) cases, and pacemaker/ implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) problems in 3 (0.2%) cases. ELR recording times were 14.2 +/- 9.7 days on average, ranging from 2 to 67 days. While the symptom-rhythm correlation was 29.1% in total, when the indications were evaluated one by one, this correlation was found to be 30.2% in palpitations, 34.7% in chest pain and palpitations, and 10.7% in presyncope/syncope. The total diagnostic efficiency was 68.1%. In the follow-up of ELR cases, a total of 139 (80.8%) patients received clinical follow-up without medication, 15 (8.8%) patients received medical treatment, and 18 (10.4%) patients underwent EPS. The cardiac ELR system is useful in detecting underlying arrhythmias. Demonstrating sinus tachycardia at the time of the symptom may be seen as negative finding, but while experiencing symptoms, it is diagnostically valuable and may help avoid further investigation with costly and invasive diagnostic procedures. For diagnostic efficiency and cost effectiveness, the optimal recording time is 2 weeks, but it should be extended to 4 weeks in cases such as of presyncope/syncope that cannot be explained with a 2-week ELR use.Publication Evaluation of six cases with alcapa syndrome: A rare but treatable cause of dilated cardiomyopathy(Bursa Uludag Univ, 2020-12-01) Özcan, Nur; Kızılkaya, Metehan; Akça, Tuğberk; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.INTRODUCTION: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that can be cured with surgical treatment. It accounts for 0.25 to 0.5% of all congenital heart diseases. ALCAPA is generally asymptomatic in the neonatal period. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and mitral valve insufficiency (MVI) are detected in patients with symptoms of heart failure. ALCAPA, which is a rare cause of DCM, early surgical treatment provides quite good prognosis in the first year of life. However, mortality is high in patients who do not receive surgical treatment.MATERIALS and METHODS: Six patients diagnosed with DCM at our clinic between January, 2005 and December, 2017 and detected with ALCAPA syndrome in their etiological assessment we re-evaluated retrospectivelyRESULTS: Of the 6 patients, 5 were female and 1 was male. The average age of diagnosis was 4,75 months. All patients had the signs and symptoms of heart failure at admission. All cases had the signs of ischemia in the chest leads, D1 and aVL in the electrocardiograms (ECGs). In allcases, echocardiography (ECHO) showed mitral insufficiency and the dilation of the left ventricle and the mean ejection fraction was 29,3% (18-39%), and the mean shortening fraction was 12,6% (8-19%) in the ECHOs. Diagnostic catheter angiography was performed for all patients and the diagnosis of ALCAPA was confirmed. All patients under went correction surgery with there implantation method. Four of the patients completely recovered after surgery. One patient died 5 days after the surgery. One patient is being followed up with medical treatment since there was no improvement in her cardiac functions after surgery.CONCLUSIONS: The ALCAPA syndrome should definitely be considered in the etiology of cases diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and it should be kept in mind that ALCAPA is completely treatable disease with early diagnosis and treatment.Publication Horseshoe lung associated with scimitar syndrome(Bmj Publishing Group, 2019-08-01) Gönen, Korcan Aysun; Canıtez, Yakup; CANITEZ, YAKUP; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; Yazıcı, Zeynep; YAZICI, ZEYNEP; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-7707-2174; AAH-1789-2021Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital anomaly and mostly accompanied by scimitar syndrome. Most aspects of this complex anomaly can be demonstrated via multidetector CT (MDCT). We present two baby girls who had horseshoe lung associated with right lung hypoplasia and scimitar vein. The chest roentgenograms showed displacement of the heart and mediastinum to the right with smaller right lung. Echocardiography revealed dextroposition, secundum atrial septal defect and bilateral slight peripheral pulmonary stenosis in the first case and dextroposition, severe pulmonary hypertension, secundum atrial septal defect and tricuspid regurgitation in the other one. On thoracic MDCT, the right lung and pulmonary artery were hypoplastic with cardiomediastinal shift to the right. There was an abnormal right pulmonary vein draining into the inferior vena cava on the lower zone of the right lung (scimitar vein). The posterobasal portions of the both lungs were fused through a midline isthmus behind the heart.
