EGFR and MMP-9 are associated with neointimal hyperplasia in systemic-to-pulmonary shunts in children with complex cyanotic heart disease
2022-09-09
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Systemic-to-pulmonary (SP) shunt malfunction contributes to morbidity in infants with single ventricle physiology after palliative procedure. Neointimal hyperplasia might play a role in the pathogenesis, increasing risk for shunt obstruction. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and matrix-metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) are described as contributors for neointimal formation in other diseases. Aim of...
