Abstract

Obstruction of the superior vena cava (SVC) is a rare complication after cardiac surgery in infants and children. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy who underwent bi-directional Glenn shunt followed by takedown of Glenn shunt and complete repair for cyanotic congenital heart disease. After 4 years of surgery, the child developed features of superior vena caval (SVC) syndrome. Echocardiography and CT angiography revealed complete obstruction of SVC without any forward flow. Transcatheter intervention was performed successfully to re-canalize and stent the SVC to maintain its patency. The patient was doing well at follow-up appointments, with good laminar flow through the stent. In conclusion, transcatheter management of post cardiac surgery SVC obstruction was successful in this patient.

Abstract

Historical specimens collected from hospitalized children were tested for the following 13 viruses: influenza A and B; respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); parainfluenza viruses 1–3; human metapneumovirus; rhinovirus; coronaviruses 229E, OC43, NL63 and HKU1 and Adenovirus using monoplex real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). They were retested using TaqMan Array Card (TAC), a micro-fluidic system, capable of simultaneous multi-pathogen testing, to evaluate its sensitivity and specificity against monoplex rRT-PCR. TAC showed high sensitivity (71%–100%) and specificity (98%–100%) for these viruses in comparison to monoplex rRT-PCR. Multi-specimen detection with high sensitivity and specificity makes TAC a potentially useful tool for both surveillance and outbreak investigations.
