Crisscross heart is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which systemic and pulmonary venous streams cross without mixing at atrioventricular level. We report a case of crisscross heart with tricuspid atresia, double outlet right ventricle, and pulmonary stenosis, which was diagnosed prenatally.

Criss-Cross Heart is a congenital cardiac condition characterized by the anomalous twisting of the ventricles relative to the atria during embryonic development. The aim of this study is to assess the advantages and limitations of diagnostic imaging for the diagnosis and approach of patients with Criss-Cross Heart through a scoping review, associated to a case series. A retrospective study was conducted on four patients diagnosed with Criss-Cross Heart.

Clinical Data: A nine-month-old female infant diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries with symptoms of heart failure associated with cyanosis and difficulty in gaining weight was referred to our center with late diagnosis (at nine months of age).
Chest Radiography: Cardiomegaly; attenuated peripheral vascular markings.Electrocardiography: Sinus rhythm with biventricular overload and aberrantly conducted supraventricular extra systoles.

Objective: This study aimed to improve the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis by analyzing fetal echocardiographic features of criss-cross heart (CCH), to provide an effective basis for the development of management strategies and improve the prognosis of patients.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on CCH cases diagnosed prenatally at our center between July 2016 and June 2022. Clinical data and prenatal fetal echocardiographic images were reviewed.

We aimed to assess the frequency of criss-cross pulmonary arteries and associated intracardiac and vascular anomalies in patients who underwent CT angiography due to suspected congenital heart disease or vascular anomaly at our hospital. We retrospectively evaluated the CT angiography images of 355 patients aged 0-18 years between April 2018 and December 2022. The presence of the criss-cross pulmonary artery anomaly was assessed.

Despite their burden, most congenital defects remain poorly understood, due to lack of knowledge of embryological mechanisms. Here, we identify Greb1l mutants as a mouse model of crisscross heart. Based on 3D quantifications of shape changes, we demonstrate that torsion of the atrioventricular canal occurs together with supero-inferior ventricles at E10.
