Noonan's syndrome is characterized by craniofacial anomalies, i. e. ptosis, webbing of the neck and a deep nuchal hairline, as well as skeletal deformities such as short stature, clinodactyly, pectus carinatum and funnel chest and other organ anomalies, mainly cardiac valve disease, less often testicular retention or kidney malformations. Noonan syndrome presents with aspects similar to Ullrich-Turner syndrome, but can be found in both male and female patients. In about one half of the patients with Noonan's syndrome cardiovascular anomalies occur, mostly anomalies of the right heart (mainly valvular pulmonary stenosis). Aortic stenosis and coarctation of the aorta are rarely seen. We report on a patient with four sequential potentially stenosing and stenosed parts of the proximal systemic circulation: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of the aorta and a hypoplastic aortic arch as a part of Noonan's syndrome. This patient presents with a unique combination of anomalies, as he also shows a Madelung like deformity of the wrist.

Hybrid repair of complex aortic arch disease typically requires aortic debranching to create a proximal landing zone for completion arch endografting. Despite advances in endograft technology, physician-modified endografting may be required to customize a prosthesis for challenging anatomy. We present a case of a complex distal arch aneurysm after a prior coarctation repair with a pediatric interposition graft several decades earlier, treated with hybrid repair by double transposition for arch debranching and physician-modified arch endografting for complete aneurysm exclusion.

Third trimester fetal 4D flow MRI with motion correction.

Purpose: To correct maternal breathing and fetal bulk motion during fetal 4D flow MRI.

Methods: A Doppler-ultrasound fetal cardiac-gated free-running 4D flow acquisition was corrected post hoc for maternal respiratory and fetal bulk motion in separate automated steps, with optional manual intervention to assess and limit fetal motion artifacts. Compressed-sensing reconstruction with a data outlier rejection algorithm was adapted from previous work.

Single-stage surgical repair of a pre-coarctation aortic arch aneurysm and arteria lusoria.

Managing an adult patient with aortic coarctation and associated anomalies presents a significant surgical challenge. We present a case of an adult male with aortic coarctation, pre-coarctation distal arch 7-cm aneurysm involving the origin of the left subclavian artery, and aberrant (lusoria) right subclavian artery. He was managed with one surgical approach, consisting of right carotid-subclavian bypass, exclusion of the right subclavian artery, proximal descending aortic replacement and reinsertion of left subclavian artery, using partial cardiopulmonary bypass.

Introduction: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) patients often experience recoarctation, the reoccurrence of aortic narrowing, presenting a considerable clinical challenge.

Aim: This study aims to investigate the triggers or contributing factors associated with the development of recoarctation (reCoA) following the initial repair of CoA.

Material And Methods: The retrospective cohort study includes information about 120 patients, who underwent 4 different types of surgical repairs of coarctation of the aorta through left thoracotomy in the period 2012-2022.

Objective: For neonatal repair of coarctation of the aorta, patients may either undergo thoracotomy with extended end-to-end anastomosis or sternotomy for aortic arch reconstruction with cardiopulmonary bypass. The objective of this study was to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the 2 approaches in patients with arch hypoplasia.

Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study from July 2005 through May 2022 of patients who underwent neonatal repair for isolated coarctation of the aorta with additional arch hypoplasia.
