Aortic regurgitation after transcatheter device closure of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect is a known complication. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with severe aortic valve regurgitation due to cusp perforation complicating previous device closure of a ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent successful aortic valve repair (neo-cusp reconstruction technique) by replacement of a cusp and shaving off of a rim of the device 5 years after device closure.

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.

A term, healthy infant presented with respiratory distress and severe pulmonary hypertension (PH). With an unclear aetiology and the intent to decrease right ventricular afterload, pulmonary vasodilators were initiated. Follow-up imaging revealed a supravalvular mitral ring as the cause of the PH which resolved after surgical resection of the membrane.

Article Synopsis
- The case involves a 21-month old girl with severe hypertriglyceridemia during cardiac surgery for a ventricular septal defect.
- A milky liquid was found in the bypass circuit, leading to tests that confirmed high triglycerides, necessitating careful management during surgery.
- The child recovered well, demonstrating the importance of quickly recognizing and addressing hypertriglyceridemia to prevent complications in pediatric heart operations.
