Comparative Study Observational StudyHead-to-head comparison of prognostic accuracy in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery of dobutamine stress echocardiography versus computed tomography coronary angiography (PANDA trial): A prospective observational study.
Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) can provide perioperative prognostic information in risk stratification of patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. This study directly compared the prognostic value of DSE and CTA in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. ⋯ URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02250963.

Case ReportsMajor aortopulmonary collateral arteries in a case of unrepaired tricuspid and pulmonary atresia with single ventricle physiology.
Tricuspid and pulmonary atresia with single ventricle physiology and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) is a complex cyanotic congenital heart disease with heterogeneous pulmonary artery morphology and arborization. The complex anatomy and physiology, coupled with a dearth of existing literature, pose imitable challenges to treatment. ⋯ A precise understanding of the blood supply to each lung is a requisite for successful surgery, and a multimodality and multidisciplinary approach is compulsory. Herein, we describe a case of tricuspid and pulmonary atresia with single ventricle, MAPCAs and aortopulmonary collateral arteries.
