Introduction And Clinical Importance: Shone complex (SC) is a rare multilevel congenital heart disease (CHD) characterized by four left-sided heart obstructive lesions: parachute mitral valve, supravalvular mitral ring, subaortic stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta (CoA), accounting for 0.6-0.7 % of CHD cases.

Background: The appropriate age for surgical repair of asymptomatic congenital supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is still unknown. The purpose of this research was to assess the safety and effectiveness of various operation ages when managing SVAS.
Methods: Consecutive asymptomatic SVAS pediatric patients in the Beijing Fuwai and Yunnan Fuwai hospitals over a period of 18 years were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is a relatively rare form of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, often accompanied by other cardiac conditions. However, a standard surgical reparative technique has not been established and repairing SVAS remains challenging.
Case Presentation: We repaired SVAS of a 3-year-old boy accompanied by a bicuspid aortic valve and malpositioned coronary orifices by partial Brom's technique with two glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patches, using recent advanced preoperative information, including geometric and effective heights.

Background: The long-term monitoring of biventricular function is essential to identify potential functional decline in patients following the arterial switch operation (ASO). The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for altered biventricular hemodynamics in ASO patients are not yet well understood. This study sought to: (I) compare the biventricular kinetic energy (KE) and vorticity of ASO patients and age- and sex-matched controls; (II) investigate the associations of four-dimensional (4D) flow biventricular hemodynamics parameters and neo-aortic root dilation, supravalvular pulmonary stenosis, and pulmonary artery transvalvular pressure difference.
