Objectives: There are limited data available on the height of the ventricular component of the septal deficiency (VSD) in patients undergoing complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) repair. VSD height may influence optimal choice of repair strategy with potential consequences for long-term outcomes. We aimed to measure VSD height using 2-dimensional echocardiography and review its association with postoperative outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the preoperative echocardiograms of 45 consecutive patients who underwent CAVSD repair between May 2010 and December 2015 at a single centre. VSD height and left ventricular length on the four-chamber view were measured. Demographic details and early and late outcomes including reoperation and long-term survival were studied.
Results: Twenty patients underwent modified single-patch repair and 25 patients underwent double-patch repair of CAVSD. VSD height in the modified single-patch group ranged from 4.2 to 11.7 mm and in the double-patch group ranged from 5.1 to 14.9 mm. Nine patients had a deep 'scoop' with a VSD height of >10 mm, (7 double patch, 2 modified single patch). VSD height did not correlate with a specific Rastelli classification. There was no significant difference in the VSD height (P = 0.51) or the VSD height-to-left ventricular length ratio (P = 0.43) between the 2 repair groups. There was no 30-day mortality. Eight patients required reoperation; however, VSD height was not a significant predictor of reoperation (hazard ratio 0.95, 95% confidence interval 0.69-1.33; P = 0.08).
Conclusions: There was no correlation between VSD height and risk of reoperation after CAVSD repair. A deep ventricular scoop is uncommon in CAVSD patients.

Simple febrile seizure et causa bronchopneumonia with complex congenital heart disease.
Glob Cardiol Sci Pract
August 2024
Department of Emergency Medicine, Hang Tuah University, Surabaya, Indonesia.
Article Synopsis
- Complex congenital heart disease (CHD) is not commonly linked to febrile seizures in children, but a case of a 2-year-old girl illustrates a potential connection with bronchopneumonia.
- The child was severely malnourished and presented with simple febrile seizures, alongside diagnostic findings of lung and heart abnormalities.
- Prompt treatment with diazepam and supportive care highlighted the need for an integrated approach to manage febrile seizures in patients with complex congenital heart issues, emphasizing the role of healthcare teams in preventing recurrence.
Background: High energy requirements and poor feeding can lead to growth failure in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD), but effects of preoperative malnutrition on surgical outcomes are poorly understood, especially in low-resource settings.
Methods And Results: We analyzed a cohort of children <5 years of age undergoing VSD closure at 60 global centers participating in the International Quality Improvement Collaborative for Congenital Heart Disease, 2015 to 2020. We calculated adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for in-hospital death and major infection and adjusted coefficients for duration of intensive care unit stay for 4 measures of malnutrition: severe wasting (weight-for-height score, <-3), moderate wasting (-3
Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Patient With Ventricular Septal Defect and Marijuana Consumption: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Internal Medicine, Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, Brooklyn, USA.
This case report presents a detailed analysis of a 28-year-old woman who experienced sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The patient had a history of marijuana consumption and was also diagnosed with a congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) with no prior intervention or treatment. VSD is a common acyanotic congenital heart disease, which poses a constant risk of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).
