A full-term baby with double-outlet right ventricle and total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) complicated with left main pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis, presented with heart failure caused by increased pulmonary blood flow. Based on significant discrepancies in size and development between the left and right PAs, we performed right PA banding concomitant with TAPVC repair to promote left PA growth and restrict overall PA flow. PA-graphy performed 3 months after surgery showed marked increase in the left PA size with appropriately low pressure, which enabled us to successfully complete Glenn anastomosis. Under appropriate patient selection, unilateral PA banding for patients with unbalanced peripheral PA size could serve as an effective and less invasive strategy to simultaneously promote PA growth and control PA flow.

Unilateral pulmonary artery banding to promote contralateral pulmonary artery growth.

Multidimensional diagnosis plays a central role in infant developmental care, which leads to the prediction of future disabilities. Information consolidated from objective and subjective, early and late, central and peripheral data may reveal neuro-pathological mechanisms and realize earlier and more precise preventive intervention. In the current study, we retrospectively searched correlating factors to the following neurological and behavioral development of 'Head Control' and 'Roll Over' using multivariate correlation analysis of differ-ent diagnostic domains over age, subject/object information of the patients who were previously admitted in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and could be developmentally followed up in our outpatient clinic. Based on the hematologic and biochemical data, MRI brain anatomy during NICU hospitalization, we characterized all the acquired data distribution from 31 infants with either 'appeared neurologically normal (ANN, n = 21)’ or 'appeared neurologically abnormal (ANA, n = 10)’ pro tempore, with a physician's clinical judgment before discharge. Besides single factor comparisons between ANN and ANA, we examined their development difference by using the multidimensional information processing, principal component analysis (PCA). The diagnostic predictors of neuro-behavioral development were selected by regression analysis with variable selection. It resulted that hematological and brain anatomical factors seemed correlated to both ‘Head Control’ and ‘Roll Over’. This report suggested certain possibility of the cross-domain translational approach between subjective and objective developmental information through multivariate analyses, with candidate markers preliminarily to be evaluated in further studies.

Early-infant diagnostic predictors of the neuro-behavioral development after neonatal care.

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) published Consensus 2015 in October 2015. Thereafter, the Japanese version of neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation programs was revised. Prior to the revision, we re-conducted questionnaire surveys in three types of medical facilities in January 2015.
