We present a case of an 11-year-old Indonesian female who was referred to our facility after surgical excision of brain abscess. The patient has been previously diagnosed with right atrial isomerism, complete atrioventricular septal defect, and L-Transposition of great arteries. Multiple staged surgeries are required for the management of this condition.

We sought to evaluate the intracardiac morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with double inlet right ventricle (DIRV) on multidetector CT angiography. A retrospective search of our departmental database was conducted from January 2014 to January 2023 to identify patients with a diagnosis of DIRV on CT angiography. The intracardiac anatomy and associated cardiovascular abnormalities were systematically evaluated.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) accounts for a small percentage of all congenital heart diseases (CHD) and occurs with a rare incidence in live births. It is a frequently diagnosed cardiac defect in infancy, though some patients present later with severe complications and reduced life expectancy. Heterotaxy syndrome is marked by abnormal lateralization of abdominal and thoracic organs, including the cardiac atria.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on understanding the patterns of tachycardia related to single or multiple atrioventricular (AV) nodes in patients with right atrial isomerism (RAI) and evaluated the effectiveness of ablation therapy.
  • Researchers analyzed medical records of 16 RAI patients who underwent catheters ablation for tachycardias between 2006 and 2020, finding various tachycardia patterns and successful treatment outcomes.
  • The results showed that ablation successfully eliminated tachycardias in 93.8% of patients, although 44% experienced recurrence over a median follow-up of about 8 years, with minimal impact on cardiac function post-procedure.

Objective: This study compared the accuracy of prenatal congenital heart disease (CHD) diagnosed by maternal-fetal medicine specialists (MFMs) and pediatric cardiologists (PCs), using postnatal cardiac findings as the reference standard.

Methods: This retrospective analysis at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, involved 125 pregnancies with fetal CHD diagnosed by MFMs and evaluated by PCs later. Prenatal CHD diagnoses by either MFM or PC were compared with postnatal diagnoses obtained through echocardiography, cardiac surgery/catheterization, or autopsy.
