Background Infants with congenitalheartdisease (CHD) are clinically vulnerable to cardiac deteriorations and intercurrent infections. We aimed to quantify the impact of health system disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, on their clinical outcomes and whether these differed by socioeconomic and ethnic subgroups.
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has become a safe and effective alternative to surgical PVR in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), isolated pulmonary stenosis (PS), and other congenitalheartdisease (CHD) variants.
Tetralogy of Fallot TOF with pulmonary atresia Pulmonary atresia with intact interventricular septum Tricuspid atresia Double outlet right ventricle Transposition of great arteries with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis Ebstein’s anomaly of tricuspid valve In DORV and tricuspid atresia, there are also variants with increased pulmonary (..)

Anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare congenitalheartdisease. Therefore, optimal indications for surgery in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) complicated by AAOCA rem.
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic congenitalheartdisease (CHD). Early management of this condition is typically dictated by the degree of pulmonary stenosis (PS) and resulting oxygen saturations.
IntroductionPrimary pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare congenitalheartdisease that proves to be a clinical challenge due to the rapidly progressive disease course and high rates of treatment complications.
The desired ultimate ability for such devices to treat a vascular stenosis without long-term device-related complications or impeding future treatment continues to evoke excitement in clinicians and engineers alike.
Right Heart Catheterization in Tetralogy of Fallot With the availability of high resolution echocardiographic images and Doppler echocardiography, role of cardiac catheterization has come down in tetralogy of Fallot and other congenitalheartdiseases in general. References Wagdy R. Arch Med Sci Atheroscler Dis.
A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts. Animal studies have shown that mice with TBX1 gene mutations have smaller left pulmonary arteries compared to wild type mice, defined by a reduced left pulmonary artery (LPA) to right pulmonary artery (RPA) ratio.
We know a small ASD decompresses mitral stenosis, and the combination of ASD and MS, Lutembacher, is a well-known syndrome called Lutembacher. When symptoms are refractory and the underlying condition has no primary correction , we need to intervene with some extreme procedures. The concept of LA flow regulator or decompressor came from this.
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 congenitalheart surgery.
The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade. Right atrial hypertrophy as in tricuspid stenosis, pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary hypertension. So a prominent A wave in a complex congenitalheartdisease situation would indicate that interventricular septum is intact.
A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. This becomes more difficult in complex congenitalheartdiseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. This view images the heart from the base to apex long axis view.
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.

P=0.032), and the presence of congenitalheartdisease (HR, 2.4 [95% 95% CI, 1.610.4];P=0.004), P=0.004), moderately or severely diminished RV systolic function (HR, 3.6 [95%
“When we observed that bicuspid aortic valve is kind of a risk marker for this group with bad outcomes, we specifically wanted to see whether young individuals who present clinically due to problems related to bicuspid aortic valve disease may also have rare genetic variants that predict complications such as needing valve surgery.”
Transcript of video: Tetralogy of Fallot is one of the commonest cyanotic congenitalheartdiseases. One is ventricular septal defect, second is overriding aorta, third is pulmonary stenosis, usually right ventricular outflow tract stenosis and associated right ventricular hypertrophy.
On the other hand, the murmur in valvular aortic stenosis does not change substantially or decreases slightly following the Valsalva maneuver. A decrease in intensity, due to attenuation of obstruction, is heard after going from a standing to a sitting or squatting position, with a handgrip, and following passive elevation of the legs.
