29 cases of corrected transposition of great vessels (CTGV), of which 3 cases were isolated and 26 cases were associated with various malformations were studied. The aim was to make the diagnosis of CTGV were made evident, to differentiate those which came from the associated malformations. The specific signs for CTGV are as follows: 1) a slight systolic ejection murmur at the 2nd or 3rd left intercostal space along the sternal margin; 2) a loud 2nd tone in the same focal zone. Specific radiographic signs are that: 1) the aortic arch comes up to sternal-costal articulation; 2) the inferior left margin has a convex form; 3) in the right oblique-anterior projection it is possible to see 2 imprints on the opaque esophagus, which is represented by the aorta above and pulmonary artery below...

In congenital heart diseases (CHD) of moderate to great complexity involving the right ventricle (RV), the morphologic RV can be exposed to significant stressors across the lifespan either in a biventricular circulation in a sub-pulmonary or sub-aortic position, or as part of a univentricular circulation. These include pressure and/or volume overload, hypoxia, ischemia, and periprocedural surgical stress leading to remodeling, maladaptation, dilation hypertrophy and dysfunction. This review examines the macroscopic remodeling of the RV in various forms of CHD and explores remodeling trajectories, along with the effects of surgeries and residual lesion repair, in tetralogy of Fallot, Ebstein anomaly, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, transposition of the great arteries with atrial switch surgery, and single ventricle palliated by Fontan.

Involutional lower eyelid ectropion is a common disorder of the elderly population. Several surgical approaches have been described in the literature to address the multifactorial nature of this condition, each targeting different factors contributing to its development. Nevertheless, no single procedure has proven to be superior to the others.

The conventional Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure may cause coronary artery compression when the coronary arteries are situated between the great arteries. We have performed a modified Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure utilizing a "flap-bridging technique," in which an inverted U-shaped flap incised from the aorta is bridged to the main pulmonary trunk, creating sufficient space between the great arteries, in an 8-month-old boy who was a Fontan candidate with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. This modified approach yielded favorable outcomes without coronary events and can effectively prevent coronary obstruction in cases where the coronary arteries run between the great arteries.

Background: Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA) stands out as a prevalent cyanotic congenital heart defect (CHD), characterized by an intricate reversal in the arrangement of the major arteries. In the past, several surgical procedures have been used to treat dTGA, including the atrial switch. Although the method is no longer used, survivors of the procedure still living among us.
