Silent and Audible Persistent Ductus Arteriosus: An Angiographic Study. (2002)
Persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) murmurs become silent probably due to the direction of the jet across the ductus arteriosus when entering the pulmonary artery. Out of 15 children with silent PDA,...
Portacaval shunt in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Starzl, T E, Chase, H P, Ahrens, E H, McNamara, D J, Bilheimer, D W, Schaefer, E J, ...
Portacaval shunt was performed in ten patients with homozygous and two with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Total serum cholesterol was lowered by 20% to 55.4% during follow-up...
Results with the Mustard operation in simple transposition of the great arteries 1963-1985.
Trusler, G A, Williams, W G, Duncan, K F, Hesslein, P S, Benson, L N, Freedom, R M, ...
From May 1963 to December 1985, 329 infants and children underwent repair of simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) using Mustard's technique. To assess improvement, the patients were...

Transcatheter closure of Blalock-Taussig shunts with a modified Rashkind umbrella delivery system.
Houde, C, Zahn, E M, Benson, L N
Transcatheter occlusion of Blalock-Taussig shunts was successfully performed in three children with the Rashkind double umbrella occluding device. Complete occlusion was confirmed angiographically in...
