AI Article Synopsis
- A neonate with complex congenital heart disease underwent a successful perventricular pulmonary valvuloplasty after surgery, guided only by echocardiography and without using fluoroscopy.
- The procedure demonstrates a new technique that can enhance patient safety and minimize radiation exposure.
- The report details both the procedure and its benefits, highlighting innovation in pediatric cardiac care.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a small neonate with a complex congenital heart disease who successfully underwent a perventricular pulmonary valvuloplasty during the early postoperative period, using echocardiographic guidance alone without fluoroscopy. We describe the technique and the advantages of this novel procedure.

Background: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, accounting for approximately 30% of congenital heart defects. Conventional surgical repair using cardiopulmonary bypass is invasive and associated with morbidities and prolonged hospital stay. With the advent of interventional approaches and availability of different occluding devices, the technique of perventricular device closure is evolving and being implemented successfully in larger groups of patients.

Introduction: Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stent angioplasty is a palliative procedure for neonates and infants with symptomatic tetralogy of Fallot prior to surgical repair. We review our institutional outcomes of RVOT stenting.
Methods: Retrospective review of all infants with tetralogy of Fallot under 3 months of age who underwent primary native RVOT stent angioplasty at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney, Australia between January 2010 and December 2020.
Whole-Chest Three-Dimensional Modeling Aids Hybrid Pulmonary Valve Replacement Following Double Switch Operation.

The double switch operation for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CC-TGA) has been associated with high rates of reintervention, including the need for pulmonary valve replacement. Hybrid interventional approaches can avoid bypass when complex anatomy complicates traditional catheter-based approaches. We present a case of successful transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement via hybrid per-ventricular approach with pre-procedural planning aided by 3D segmentation of skeletal and cardiac anatomy in a patient with surgically corrected CC-GTA.

Background And Aim: We showed in our anatomical review, ventricular septal defects existing as multiple entities can be considered in terms of three major subsets. We address here the diagnostic challenges, associated anomalies, the role and techniques of surgical instead of interventional closure, and the outcomes, including reinterventions, for each subset.
Methods: We reviewed 80 published investigations, noting radiographic findings, and the results of clinical imaging elucidating the location, number, size of septal defects, associated anomalies, and the effect of severe pulmonary hypertension.

Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement has become an attractive alternative to surgical approach in patients with dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract. However, in certain cases, an unfavorable anatomy might complicate optimal valve deployment and stability. Several techniques have been described to reshape the landing zone and allow proper implantation of the transcatheter valve.
