Surgical Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot Using Autologous Right Atrial Appendage to Reconstruct the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract: A Case Series With Four-Year Follow-up.

This clinical case series describes the surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot in five children using autologous right atrial appendage to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract. Transthoracic echocardiography performed at four-year follow-up showed a mild residual gradient and moderate regurgitation of the neopulmonary valve in all cases.

Does the right ventricle size influence the left ventricle size and function in children with Ebstein anomaly?

Purpose: Patients with Ebstein anomaly (EA) have a variety of clinical manifestation. The assessment of structural and geometric characteristics of the heart is important for optimal management.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed echocardiography database from 2009 to 2020.

Surgical Management of a Giant Left Ventricular Fibroma in a Newborn.

This clinical case report describes surgical management of a giant left ventricular fibroma and postoperative venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in a newborn male. Transthoracic echocardiography performed at 9-month follow-up showed an ejection fraction of 33% and a cardiac index of 4.5 liters per minute per square meter.

Surgery for aortic recoarctation in children less than 10 years old: A single-center experience in Siberia, Russia.

Background: Persistence or recurrence of stenosis is a complication of initial coarctation repair. This study aims to report short-term outcomes of surgical management of recurrent coarctation and initial repair analysis.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our experience with 51 patients undergoing recoarctation surgical repair between 2008 and 2019 using antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) technique.

Surgical management of a giant congenital left ventricular aneurysm in a 2-month-old infant.

A congenital left ventricular aneurysm is very rare. Clinical presentation varies from absence of symptoms to ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure or even sudden death. The optimal management is controversial and the surgical technique is not defined.
