Young Hughes syndrome

Increased postoperative and respiratory complications in patients with congenital heart disease associated with heterotaxy.

Increased postoperative and respiratory complications in patients with congenital heart disease associated with heterotaxy.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2011 Mar;141(3):637-44, 644.e1-3

Patients with heterotaxy and complex congenital heart disease underwent cardiac surgery with high mortality and morbidity. Recent studies have revealed an association among heterotaxy, congenital heart disease, and primary ciliary dyskinesia. We undertook a retrospective review of patients undergoing cardiac surgery at Children's National Medical Center between 2004 and 2008 to explore the hypothesis that there is increased mortality and respiratory complications in heterotaxy patients.
