AI Article Synopsis
- Modern surgical techniques have greatly improved life expectancy for individuals with congenital heart disease.
- Although congenital pulmonary valve stenosis is less complex than tetralogy of Fallot, both conditions share risks for serious heart issues like ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
- Patients who have had surgery for congenital pulmonary stenosis should be closely monitored for symptoms such as palpitations or fainting due to their increased risk for developing ventricular arrhythmias.
Article Abstract
With modern surgical techniques, there is significantly increased life expectancy for those with congenital heart disease. Although congenital pulmonary valve stenosis is not as complex as tetralogy of Fallot, there are many similarities between the 2 lesions, such that patients with either of these conditions are at risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Those patients who have undergone surgical palliation for congenital pulmonary stenosis are at an increased risk for development of ventricular arrhythmias and may benefit from a more aggressive evaluation for symptoms of palpitations or syncope.

Cystic cuboid adenomatous malformations (CCAM) are congenital pulmonary lesions, usually benign, that can progress into malignancy. Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is another type of malformation that consistsof an ectopic pulmonary tissue mass that doesn't participate in blood-gas exchanges, with vascularization provided by anomalous branches of the thoracic aorta. Hybrid lesions are lesions that have histological features of CCAM but with systemic vascularization, a pathognomonic sign of BPS.

Department of Congenital Heart Disease-Pediatric Cardiology, Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité (DHZC), Berlin, Germany.
Objective: Interstage home monitoring (IHM) programs are considered standard of care after Norwood palliation and have led to substantial improvements in clinical outcomes. This study aims to evaluate an application-based remote IHM program for infants with shunt- or duct-dependent pulmonary circulation. The primary goals were to discharge infants from the hospital while minimizing mortality, optimizing somatic growth, and enhancing caregivers' confidence in the clinical management at home.

J Med Case Rep

Faculty of Medicine, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Background: Heterotaxia is characterized by an abnormal positioning of the thoracic and/or abdominal organs, resulting in various physiological and hemodynamic implications. Congenital heart disease involves structural irregularities in the heart or major vessels within the chest, leading to functional challenges.
Case Presentation: We present a 26-year-old Arab female patient with a complex medical history involving heterotaxy, dextrocardia, congenital heart disease, and ureteropelvic junction obstruction diagnosed in her first year of life, followed by the identification of endometriosis in her early twenties.

Background: In select patients with type C esophageal atresia, primary anastomosis is not appropriate and a staged approach is required. We aim to summarize our experience in the management of type C EA using a staged approach.
Methods: A retrospective chart-review of patients with type C EA admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital between July 2020 to October 2023 were conducted.

Objectives: Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) lesion with an aberrant systemic blood supply is considered a "hybrid" lesion (HL). The aim of the study was to report authors' experience in the presentation, surgical management, and outcomes of HL.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of HL patients followed from 2000 to 2022 in a single institution was done.
