We report a case of left ventricular-right atrial communication complicated by aortic valve incompetence in a 29-year-old man. The patient had a history of heart murmur during childhood. There were no clinical signs of infection. We performed plication of the aortic valve and patch closure of the left ventricular-right atrial communication under cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient improved immediately after the operation.

Combined pressure and volume loading for left ventricular training in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.

Objective: Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries may require left ventricular training before the double switch operation. We evaluated the effects of combined pressure and volume loading.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries who underwent left ventricular training between 2012 and 2022.

Left ventricular-right atrial communication (LV-RAC) refers to the shunt from the left ventricle to the right atrium caused by an abnormal channel between the left ventricle and the right atrium, and is a specific type of ventricular septal defect that is rare. We diagnosed one case using echocardiography.

Objective: The in utero no flow/no grow hypothesis postulates that reduced inflow of blood into the left ventricle due to a stenotic mitral valve could lead to ventricular hypoplasia and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This has been demonstrated in chick embryos, but less so in large animals. We investigated the impact of mitral obstruction on left and right ventricular growth in fetal lambs.

Temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) encompasses a wide array of invasive devices, which provide short-term hemodynamic support for multiple clinical indications. Although initially developed for the management of cardiogenic shock, indications for MCS have expanded to include prophylactic insertion prior to high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention, treatment of acute circulatory failure following cardiac surgery, and bridging of end-stage heart failure patients to more definitive therapies, such as left ventricular assist devices and cardiac transplantation. A wide variety of devices are available to provide left ventricular, right ventricular, or biventricular support.

Article Synopsis
- A 77-year-old woman had surgery for severe mitral stenosis and tricuspid regurgitation, receiving a mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty.
- Two months post-surgery, she was readmitted due to significant swelling and a new heart murmur was found, indicating a possible complication.
- During a follow-up operation, a defect in the heart's septum and issues with the tricuspid ring were fixed, which were causing abnormal blood flow between the left ventricle and right atrium due to a prior surgical error.
