The VACTERL (vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities) association represents an enigmatic syndrome requiring further study. This report describes a full-term neonate born to a multiparous woman who was found, upon further examination, to have multiple congenital abnormalities, including a bicuspid aortic valve, patent foramen ovale, tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), asymmetric crying facies, microphallus, and a single inguinal testis. The discussion explores environmental and genetic factors that may contribute to this association, as well as similar conditions, such as CHARGE (coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, growth retardation, genital abnormalities, and ear abnormalities) syndrome.

Objective: The study objective was to investigate the effect of free-edge length on valve performance in bicuspidization repair of congenitally diseased aortic valves.
Methods: In addition to a constructed unicuspid aortic valve disease model, 3 representative groups-free-edge length to aortic diameter ratio 1.2, 1.
Longitudinal assessment of health-related quality of life in patients with adult congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Division of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute, Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio.
Objective: The study objective was to assess longitudinal postoperative health-related quality of life among patients with adult congenital heart disease facilitated by a novel electronic medical record-based patient-reported outcomes follow-up platform.
Methods: From January 2022 to October 2023, 559 patients with adult congenital heart disease underwent cardiac surgery; 491 (88%) completed a 23-element health-related quality of life questionnaire covering 3 domains (physical, mental, and social) yielding 911 assessments. Automated questionnaires via electronic medical record were sent at 7 days preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
