Background: Transcatheter closure of congenital coronary artery fistulas (CCAFs) is an altative therapy to surgery; however, data regarding transcatheter closure for CCAF with a giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in pediatric patients are still limited due to the rarity of the disease. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter closure for CCAF with a giant CAA in a pediatric population at a single center. Methods: Medical records of pediatric patients (<18 years old) who underwent transcatheter closure of CCAF with a giant CAAbetween April 2007 and September 2016 at Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute (Guangdong, China) were reviewed. Results: Twelve patients (median age, 6.1 years; range, 1.9–11.0 years) underwent successful transcatheter closure procedures. One patient underwent closure at both the entry and exit points of the CAA, three patients underwent closure at the exit point of the CAA, and eight patients underwent closure at the entry point of the CAA. After a mean follow?up of 7.2 years (range, 0.5–9.8 years), one patient (with closure at the exit point of the CAA) underwent transcatheter re?intervention because of a significant residual shunt. She eventually underwent a surgical procedure due to aneurysm dilation after the second intervention. One patient experienced thrombus formation within the CAA after the procedure. Among those with closure at the entry point of the CAA, a mild?to?moderate residual shunt was detected in three patients. Conclusions: Transcatheter closure appears to be a safe and effective altative therapy for CCAF with a giant CAA in the pediatric population. Closure at the entry point of the CAA, and closure at both the entry and exit points when feasible, may reduce the risk of postinterventional complications.

光学耳蜗利用激光脉冲作为激励源触发听觉神经产生听觉,与传统电子耳蜗相比,在触发精度和抗干扰等方面具有独特优势。尽管光学耳蜗动物实验取得了大量有价值的研究结果,但是激光触发听觉的机制仍在探索当中,需要开展更深入的研究。本文首先对近几年国内外学者在该领域的新成果做了简要概述,探讨了几种可能的激光触发机制,然后针对目前研究中存在的问题提出了几种新的研究方案,这些新方案可能有助于进一步揭示激光触发的机制。
