Right Heart Catheterization in Tetralogy of Fallot

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Chance of precipitating a cyanotic spell are more when pulmonary angiography is attempted through the already narrow right ventricular outflow tract. initial shunt surgery is an option to allow the pulmonary artery branches to grow in size and for a later complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot [1]. If McGoon’s ratio is below 0.8,

Arterial Switch Operation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

That is, right ventricle is connecting to aorta, and left ventricle to pulmonary artery. That is, pulmonary artery is transposed over to the right ventricle, and aorta over to the left ventricle, so that normal anatomy is restored. In simple terms, arterial switch is restoring the normal connections.

Multimodality Imaging Evaluation of Diseases of the Pulmonic Valve and Right Ventricular Outflow Tract for the Adult Cardiologist

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Due to the dramatically improved survival of children with congenital heart disease over the last 5 decades, there has been a steady increase in the prevalence of adults with congenital heart disease, which necessitates that clinicians become familiar with the anatomy and the evaluation of right ventricular outflow tract and PV anomalies.

Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods We present the first described case of using two leadless pacing systems manufactured by separate companies implanted within the same patient to provide atrial and ventricular pacing due to complex congenital anatomy.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. The aorta, right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery up to its bifurcation is imaged in the upward angulation shown in the left panel. Colour flow shows the flow in pulmonary artery.
