Cyanosis in newborns can be caused by cyanotic heart defects, such as transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary and tricuspid atresia, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, common arterial trunk, Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve, and total anomalous pulmonary venous return. The indicated cyanotic heart defects can be diagnosed or ruled out with three simple echocardiographic views: The parasternal long and short axis view and the apical or subcostal 4-chamber view. If these three views are normal, a cyanotic heart defect can be ruled out. In the case of a cyanotic heart defect, one or more views are pathological.

Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) can lead to improved morbidity and mortality. However, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound, the sole prenatal screening tool, remains limited. Failed prenatal or early newborn detection of cyanotic CHD (CCHD) can have disastrous consequences.

Prostaglandin E1 is a potent vasodilator that prevents the ductus arteriosus from closing. Its use in neonates with cyanotic heart defects has revolutionized the management of children with cyanotic heart defects. Although the use of prostaglandin E1 is a temporary solution, the establishment of dependable pulmonary blood flow is of paramount importance.

Background: Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA) stands out as a prevalent cyanotic congenital heart defect (CHD), characterized by an intricate reversal in the arrangement of the major arteries. In the past, several surgical procedures have been used to treat dTGA, including the atrial switch. Although the method is no longer used, survivors of the procedure still living among us.

Background: A high percentage of patients with congenital heart diseases (CHD) reach adulthood and, over time, require heart transplantation (HTx) or combined heart-lung transplantation (HLTx). Among CHD, there are subgroups associated with a higher risk.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of HTx and HLTx in CHD patients.
