We describe an extremely rare combination of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), right-sided cervical aortic arch with long-segment hypoplasia, and other vascular anomalies. A two-stage surgical approach included aortic arch reconstruction followed by right ventricular muscle bundle division and ventricular septal defect closure a few weeks later. The initial clinical presentation, perioperative course, and imaging studies are presented along with a review of the relevant literature. This is the first report of successful neonatal repair of TOF with long-segment hypoplasia of the aorta.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to create a clinical prediction model for determining the risk of postoperative Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) within 5 years following surgery in children with Hirschsprung disease.
- The research included 274 patients, revealing that 27.4% experienced HAEC, with eight significant predictors identified, like gender, weight at surgery, and the type of surgical approach.
- The prediction model demonstrated promising accuracy (AuROC of 0.749) and established risk categories (low and high), aiding in patient management and follow-up; an online tool was also developed for calculating individual risk.
A Novel Diastolic Doppler Index Less Affected by Aortic Arch Anomalies Co-existing with Coarctation.

Severity assessment for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is challenging due to concomitant morphological anomalies (complex CoA) and inaccurate Doppler-based indices. Promising diagnostic performance has been reported for the continuous flow pressure gradient (CFPG), but it has not been studied in complex CoA. Our objective was to characterize the effect of complex CoA and associated hemodynamics on CFPG in a clinical cohort.

Background: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) significantly impacts the quality of life due to three-dimensional spinal abnormalities. Patient-reported outcome measures, such as the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29), play a crucial role in assessing postoperative outcomes. This study aims to investigate trends in PROMIS-29 scores over 36 months in patients undergoing long-segment thoracolumbar fusion for ASD and provide insights into its long-term utility.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of simultaneous repair for infants with long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis (LSCTS) with congenital cardiovascular defects (CCD).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of infants aged less than 1 year with LSCTS and CCD who underwent simultaneous repair at Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2020 to March 2023. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for the relevant published studies that reported the simultaneous repair of CTS and CCD in infancy was conducted in March 2023.
