Echocardiographic Assessment of Cardiac Phenotype Predicts Complications and Guides Intensive Care Management Following Pulmonary Valve Balloon Dilation in Neonates With Pulmonary Atresia/Critical Pulmonary Stenosis With Intact Ventricular Septum.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPulmonary valve balloon dilation (PVBD) has largely replaced surgical decompression as the preferred treatment for neonates with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) or critical pulmonary stenosis (CPS). This study aims to evaluate whether echocardiographic morphological and functional assessment can predict early complications and guide intensive care management following PVBD in this population.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 27 neonates with PAIVS or CPS who underwent PVBD between 2017 and 2023. Patients were divided into Group A (tripartite right ventricle [RV], developed infundibulum) and Group B (bipartite RV, hypoplastic infundibulum). Echocardiographic, catheterization, and clinical data were reviewed and compared.
resultsGroup A had higher rates of transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction (92.9% vs. 15.4%, p < 0.001) and required more ventilatory and inotropic support. Group B was more prone to infundibular spasm (76.9% vs. 21.4%, p = 0.004) and often needed beta-blockers or additional pulmonary blood flow.
conclusionEchocardiographic RV phenotype is associated with specific post-PVBD complications and may help guide early post-procedural management.
