Purpose

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.

Condition
Cardiovascular Abnormalities

Study Type:	Observational
Study Design:	Natural History, Longitudinal, Defined Population, Retrospective Study
Official Title:	Thoracoscopic Vascular Rings Chart Review

Further study details as provided by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta:

Estimated Enrollment:	47
Study Start Date:	August 2004

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.
