Congenital Heart Malformations (CHM) can be present together with Extracardiac Malformations (ECM) in a single individual, however the frequency and the patterns of associations are not well defined because the casistics of the literature are little comparable. The diagnosis of CHM has been demonstrated with cardiac catheterization in any case. Between January 1st, 1976 and December 31st, 1983 cardiac catheterization has been performed in 1012 children and 971 of them were affected by Congenital there was at least one ECM as well (group B); 311 ECM were present in group B. VSD (p less than 0.05) and Atrioventricular Septal Defects (AV.SD) (p less than 0.01) resulted associated with ECM while T.F. (p less than 0.05) and isolated TGA (p less than 0.01) showed the tendency to occur in isolation. VDS resulted associated with gastrointestinal anomalies (p less than 0.05), AV.SD with T21 (p less than 0.001), aortic valve (p less than 0.05) and supra-valve (p less than 0.001) stenosis with Nervous System abnormalities. Pulmonary stenosis showed little tendency to occur together with T21 (p less than 0.05).

Circular Shunt: A Loop Not to Be Ignored.

J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth

December 2024

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, National Heart Center, Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman.

A circular shunt, initially described by Shone et al. in 1962, refers to abnormal blood recirculation through complete intracardiac or intra- and extracardiac communications, bypassing the capillary beds. This pathophysiological condition is most commonly associated with complex congenital heart defects, such as Ebstein's malformation, pulmonary atresia, Gerbode defect, and so on.

Purpose: We presented the experience of a tertiary care center for maternal and fetal diseases and assessed the findings fetuses with double-inlet left ventricle (DILV) regarding fetal echocardiography, prenatal course including fetal growth and death, and postnatal outcome.

Methods: In this retrospective study, patients diagnosed with DILV via prenatal ultrasound in the maternal-fetal medicine department between 2015 and 2023 were included to evaluate important aspects of prenatal diagnosis and course, as well as postnatal management and outcome.

Results: There were 33 DILV cases prenatally diagnosed and postnatally confirmed.

Thoracic Lymphatic Perfusion Patterns Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Late Fontan Failure.

Diagnostics (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Congenital Heart Disease, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez, Mexico City 14080, Mexico.

Background: Fontan circulation maintains an elevated venous pressure; this promotes venous and lymphatic congestion and may lead to late circuit failure. Our objective was to determine the association between thoracic lymphatic perfusion patterns assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and late Fontan failure.

Methodology: A retrospective study was performed.

Objective: Prior to 2019, termination of pregnancy (TOP) was unlawful in Ireland. We sought to examine the impact of legislative change on TOP for major congenital heart disease (CHD) and its effect on parental decision-making regarding the options of complex surgery, TOP, or palliative perinatal care.

Methods: This was a trend analysis of second-trimester TOP for major CHD before and after the law reforms relating to pregnancy termination in Ireland.
