Absent right atrioventricular connection, with the left atrium connected to a dominant left-sided morphologically right ventricle is a rare situation. We report five cases with these anatomical features, with emphasis on the morphological and clinical aspects. Although this combination of lesions is very uncommon, the sequential segmental analysis can easily provide an accurate description of the anomaly.

Successful transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for tricuspid regurgitation in a patient with a double-inlet left ventricle and discordant connections of the great arteries: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Cardiology and Catheterization Laboratories, Shonan Kamakura General Hospital, Okamoto 1370-1, Kamakura City, Kanagawa 247-8533, Japan.
Background: In patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), significant atrioventricular valve regurgitation is an important risk factor for poor outcomes, such as heart failure. However, in many cases, transcatheter intervention may reduce the risk profile to avoid a high surgical risk.
Case Summary: A 44-year-old man with complex ACHD in the form of a double-inlet left ventricle, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, pulmonary atresia, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus was referred for the treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Surgical valve replacement in adults late after total cavo-pulmonary connection/Fontan procedure.

Adult Congenital Heart Diseases Unit, Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, Part of Guy's and St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.
Objectives: There is dearth of data on long-term outcomes of systemic semilunar (SS) or atrioventricular (AV) valve operation in adult patients with a Fontan circulation. We describe a single-centre experience of adults who underwent valve surgery late after a Fontan procedure.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with a Fontan circulation who had a reoperation for severe valve disease during adulthood in our centre.
The role of imaging in the diagnosis and approach of criss-cross heart: a scoping review and case series.

Criss-Cross Heart is a congenital cardiac condition characterized by the anomalous twisting of the ventricles relative to the atria during embryonic development. The aim of this study is to assess the advantages and limitations of diagnostic imaging for the diagnosis and approach of patients with Criss-Cross Heart through a scoping review, associated to a case series. A retrospective study was conducted on four patients diagnosed with Criss-Cross Heart.

Those using the mouse for the purposes of electrophysiological research presume that the morphology of the conduction axis is comparable with the human arrangement. As yet, however, to the best of our knowledge, no direct comparison has been made between the species. By comparing our extensive histological findings in the human heart with comparable serially-sectioned datasets prepared from adult murine hearts, we aimed to provide this information.
