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 congenital heart diseases in general. Normal subjects have a value around 2.1. If McGoon’s ratio is below 0.8,

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. A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts.

Abstract Introduction Patients with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for requiring cardiac pacing during their lifetime. Due to atrial and ventricular pacing dependence, a comprehensive congenital care team concluded the need for lead extraction and replacement of pacemaker via leadless peacemaking device.

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 surgical team skillfully dissected the pulmonary artery ostia and coronary artery buttons, preparing for the intricate transplant.

We know a small ASD decompresses mitral stenosis, and the combination of ASD and MS, Lutembacher, is a well-known syndrome called Lutembacher. This is to create a small regulatory orifice in the IAS ( A complicated term for a small ASD ) to decompress the LA and reduce pulmonary congestive symptoms. JAMA Cardiol.

This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. 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.

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.
