Thoracoscopic Vascular Rings Chart Review

Terminated

• Conditions: Cardiovascular Abnormalities

• Registration Number: NCT00229853
• Lead Sponsor: Children's Healthcare of Atlanta

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to review the use of diverticulopexy, and collect data regarding the ease of the procedure and the overall outcome.

Detailed Description

In addition to dividing the vascular ring, some surgeons stress the importance of performing a diverticulopexy (an additional stitch which holds the ring open and prevents recurrence). This is a difficult step to perform through the thoracoscope.

We plan to review the use of this step, the diverticulopexy, and collect data regarding the ease of the procedure and the overall outcome. Once we have accomplished this, we hope to present our initial results of this new procedure.
