Introduction and objectives: Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) improves oxygenation in neonates with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and restrictive foramen ovale. Currently, there is a global shortage of dedicated BAS catheters, while new unmarked catheters have recently become available at some European centers. This study aimed to characterize BAS outcomes using the currently available BAS catheters in Europe.
Methods: A 2-year multicenter observational registry was conducted, including all neonates undergoing BAS for TGA. We report preliminary results (September 2022-February 2024) focusing on BAS characteristics and outcomes.
Results: A total of 250 BAS procedures were performed in 29 centers. The median neonatal weight was 3.16 kg, and 88% of neonates had a prenatal diagnosis. Most procedures were performed often on the first day of life during working hours (72.8%), mainly in catheterization laboratories (59.2%). Guidance primarily involved ultrasound with or without fluoroscopy. A guidewire was used in 41.2% of procedures. A total of 290 catheters (286 Z-5 or Z-6) were used, achieving an overall BAS success rate of 96%. Complete procedural failure was associated with the use of the umbilical venous route (OR, 3.62; P = .001) and lower-volume catheters (OR, 7.01; P < .001). The occurrence of significant complications (8%; OR, 9.33; P < .001) was associated with complete procedural failure. For complex procedures, significant risk factors were the absence of fluoroscopy (OR, 3.32; P = .001), use of the umbilical venous route (OR, 2.28; P = .005), and lower-volume catheters (OR, 2.43; P = .03).
Conclusions: In the current era, BAS can be challenging, and significant complications and complete failures are not uncommon. The use of the umbilical venous route, low-volume BAS catheters, absence of fluoroscopy guidance, and the occurrence of complications negatively impact procedural outcomes.

Introduction and objectives: The development of specific heart failure (HF) units has improved the management of patients with this disease due to improved organization and resource management. The Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC) has defined 3 types of HF units (community, specialized, and advanced) based on their complexity and service portfolio. Our aim was to compare the characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of patients with HF according to the type of unit.
Methods: We analyzed data from the SEC-Excelente-IC quality accreditation program registry, with 1716 patients consecutively included in two 1-month cutoffs (March and October) from 2019 to 2021 by 45 SEC-accredited HF units. We compared the characteristics, treatment and 1-year outcomes between the 3 types of units.
Results: Of the 1716 patients, 13.2% were treated in community units, 65.9% in specialized units, and 20.9% in advanced units. The rates of mortality (27.5 vs 15.5/100 patients-year; P<.001), admissions for HF (39.7 vs 29.2/100 patients-year; P=.019), total decompensations (56.1 vs 40.5/100 patients-year; P=.003), and combined death/admission for HF (45.2 vs 31.4/100 patients-year; P=.005) were higher in community units than in specialized/advanced units. Follow-up in a community unit was an independent predictor of higher mortality and admissions at 1 year.
Conclusions: Compared with follow-up by more specialized units, follow-up in a community unit was associated with a higher decompensation rate and increased 1-year mortality.
