Objective: D-Transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) is the most common congenital heart disease requiring surgical correction within the neonatal period. Sinus tachycardia often persists postoperatively, potentially affecting cardiac function. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of the short-acting beta-1-selective beta-blocker esmolol in controlling heart rate in neonatal cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Background: Iron deficiency (ID) has been reported in patients with congenital heart disease. There is, however, a scarcity of data on its prevalence in patients with a Fontan circulation. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of ID in Fontan patients and to investigate the association between ID and exercise capacity in this population.

Objectives: Children with univentricular congenital heart disease undergoing staged surgical palliation are at risk for impaired neurodevelopmental (ND) outcome. Little is known about the long-term effects on brain growth until school age.
Methods: In a prospective two-centre study, consecutive patients undergoing stage I (Hybrid or Norwood) to stage III (Fontan procedure) were evaluated by 2 serial cerebral magnetic resonance imaging examinations, somatic growth and ND testing before Fontan procedure at 2 years of age (Bayley-III) and after Fontan at 6-8 years of age (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-third edition).

Introduction: Sprengle deformity is the most common congential anomaly of shoulder complex that is the result of scapular placement in cephalad abnormal position. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of clinical and radiological results of vertical corrective scapular osteotomy and comparision of these results with previous studies.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the results of the vertical corrective scapular osteotomy (VSO) with or without clavicular osteotomy and wake-up test in 31 consecutive patients at an average duration of follow up of 30 month (6 month-15 years).
