J Palliat Med. 2017 Dec;20(12):1327-1337 Authors: Nguyen HQ, Cuyegkeng T, Phung TO, Jahn K, Borneman T, Macias M, Ruel N, Ferrell BR Abstract BACKGROUND: A notable gap in the evidence base for outpatient palliative care (PC) for cancer is that most trials were conducted in specialized oncology or academic centers with limited translation and further evaluation in «real-world» settings. Health systems are desperate for guidance regarding the most effective and sustainable PC service models. OBJECTIVE: Describe the study…

Related Articles Durable Benefit of Particle Occlusion of Systemic to Pulmonary Collaterals in Select Patients After Superior Cavopulmonary Connection. Pediatr Cardiol. 2018 Feb;39(2):245-253 Authors: O’Byrne ML, Schidlow DN Abstract Systemic to pulmonary arterial collaterals (SPC) are commonly found in patients undergoing staged operative palliation for single ventricle heart disease. Occlusion of SPC as part of pre-Fontan catheterization has been shown to improve hemodynamics acutely. Anecdotally, the effect of this intervention appears to be transient, and to our knowledge there is no data supporting its durability in these patients. Between 1/1/2016 and 5/1/2017, 24 children underwent Glenn operations at our institution.…

Arch Dis Child. 2016 Oct;101(10):984-7 Authors: Bertaud S, Lloyd DF, Laddie J, Razavi R Abstract Growing numbers of patients with severe congenital heart disease (CHD) are surviving into late childhood and beyond. This increasingly complex patient group may experience multiple formidable and precarious interventions, lifelong morbidity and the very real risk of premature death on many occasions throughout their childhood. In this paper, we discuss the advantages of a fully integrated palliative care ethos in patients with CHD, offering the potential for…
