Does endogenous cholecystokinin stimulate pancreatic enzyme secretion via vagal afferent pathway in rats?
Endogenous CCK under physiological conditions act via stimulation of vagal afferent pathway to mediate pancreatic enzyme secretion.
We demonstrated that heart transplantation for patients with CHD can be performed with the expectation of excellent results. Previous procedures, including the Fontan operation, do not reduce survival. Mortality is related to preoperative patient condition. We advocate early referral of complex CHD patients for transplant assessment and for inclusion in waiting lists before the detrimental effects of end-stage failure manifest themselves.
