This young male had ventricular fibrillation during a triathlon. He was resuscitated with chest compressions and defibrillation and 1 mg of epinephrine. His initial ECG is shown here.

In as early as 1958, the first heart surgery -a closed mitral commissurotomy on a 30-year-old man with rheumatic mitral stenosis- was performed by Professor Ton That Tung, setting the stage for many decades of cardiac surgical endeavours to come. Only 7 centers are able to perform neonatal and high-risk congenital heart surgery.

Conclusion:Patients with 22q11 deletion syndrome are more likely to have reduced LPA to RPA ratio and need intervention on the LPA at the initial surgery, despite Tetralogy of Fallot (the only of the three lesions known to be associated with LPA stenosis) being over represented in the control group.

Background In congenital aortic stenosis (CAS), commissurotomy is an option in patients not suitable to receive a valve prosthesis. However, there is often a need for future additional interventions on the aortic valve. The fate of the aortic valve is, however, essentially unknown. males) were identified.

This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. Opening and closing movements of the aortic and mitral valves are visible. Planimetry of mitral valve area can be obtained in parasternal short axis view in case of mitral stenosis.

In a remarkable leap forward for pediatric cardiac care, a groundbreaking partial heart transplant procedure has emerged as a beacon of hope for infants facing severe congenital heart conditions. The donor’s aortic root was transplanted first, leveraging donor tissue to close the ventricular septal defect.

While the first one may radiate to the axilla and base, but usually not into the neck, it does reflect both aortic outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation in patients with a large gradient.

ObjectivesThe bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect. Stenosis was registered in 44% of patients by echo, while 58% had stenosis on CMR. Aortopathy was registered in 76% of patients on echo and 78% on CMR; 38% of patients had severe aortic dilatation on echo and 54% on CMR (p = 0.003).
