Balloon Interrogation of Intervening Tissue: A Novel Method to Decide Strategy for Closing Multiple Atrial Septal Defects.

Background: Two separate ostium secundum atrial septal defects are a challenging substrate for device closure due to lack of a well-described strategy or an adequately evaluated protocol.

Methods: This is a prospective study comprising 20 patients with 2 atrial septal defects who underwent device closure. All of them underwent balloon interrogation (BI) of the intervening tissue to decide 1- versus 2-device strategy.

Low dose paracetamol for management of patent ductus arteriosus in very preterm infants: a randomised non-inferiority trial.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of low dose-short course intravenous paracetamol with a conventional dose regimen for early targeted closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

Design: Single-centre, double-blinded, active controlled, randomised non-inferiority trial.

Setting: Level III neonatal intensive care unit in Western India.

Antenatal Assessment of Topsy-Turvy Heart With Crisscross Inlet.

Rare cardiac malpositions are faced with diagnostic challenges and may not follow set rules. The presence of more than one pathology simultaneously makes diagnosis challenging. The present case report describes antennal diagnosis topsy-turvy heart with crossed ventricular inlets.

Transcatheter Closure of Iatrogenic Right Ventricular Perforation With Amplatzer Duct Occlude II.

Iatrogenic cardiac perforation is a major complication of cardiac intervention. Surgical correction of perforation is standard of care. We discuss a pacing wire induced right ventricular perforation during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Aortopulmonary window: Clues to fetal diagnosis.

Being a planar structure, fetal diagnosis of aorto-pulmonary window poses great challenge. A few echocardiographic signs can help to clinch the diagnosis.
