This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and utility of virtual reality (VR) for baffle planning in congenital heart disease (CHD), specifically by creating patient-specific 3D heart models and assessing a user-friendly VR interface. Patient-specific 3D heart models were created using high-resolution imaging data and a VR interface was developed for baffle planning. The process of model creation and the VR interface were assessed for their feasibility, usability, and clinical relevance. Collaborative and interactive planning within the VR space were also explored. The study findings demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of VR in baffle planning for CHD. Patient-specific 3D heart models generated from imaging data provided valuable insights into complex spatial relationships. The developed VR interface allowed clinicians to interact with the models, simulate different baffle configurations, and assess their impact on blood flow. The VR space's collaborative and interactive planning enhanced the baffle planning process. This study highlights the potential of VR as a valuable tool in baffle planning for CHD. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using patient-specific 3D heart models and a user-friendly VR interface to enhance surgical planning and patient outcomes. Further research and development in this field are warranted to harness the full benefits of VR technology in CHD surgical management.

Deadly yet Preventable? Lessons From South Korea's Halloween Crowd Crush.

Article Synopsis
- - In 2022, a tragic crowd crush in Itaewon, South Korea, claimed 159 lives, primarily young adults, during a Halloween event free from pandemic restrictions.
- - Despite numerous calls to the police about the growing dangers in the crowd, responses were delayed for hours, highlighting a significant failure in disaster preparedness and public safety management.
- - The response from government officials post-tragedy emphasized the need for better public health and safety systems, criticizing the focus on superficial language rather than addressing the preventable nature of the disaster.
A baffling case of inferior vena cava filter removal in a patient with transposition of the great arteries.

Department of Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Richmond, VA.
A 47-year-old man with a history of transposition of the great arteries after a Mustard atrial switch procedure and prior inferior vena cava filter placement for venous thromboembolism presented for removal before being listed for orthotopic heart transplantation in anticipation of cardiopulmonary bypass cannulation. The filter was retrieved using a right transjugular approach without disruption of his existing atrial baffle. Contingency planning in the event of unsuccessful baffle navigation included a transfemoral everted filter approach.

This study has carried out a systematic review of 36 scientific papers (reporting 63 case studies) published in the last 15 years about the treatment of industrial, agri-food and municipal wastewater in lagoons. A concentration of studies from a few countries (Italy, Algeria and Iran) and about municipal wastewater (70% of papers) was revealed by the bibliographic analysis. Aeration was supplied in more than 50% of case studies; the storage capacity of lagoons (adopted as a measure of size) was extremely variable (over seven orders of magnitude), while their depth was generally lower than a few metres.

Double inlet left ventricle (DILV) is a form of single ventricle heart disease where both atrioventricular valves enter a single left ventricle. Surgical intervention may be needed in the neonatal period secondary to systemic outflow tract obstruction or less commonly pulmonary obstruction. Two-dimensional echocardiography can adequately assess newborn anatomy and define the need for surgery.

Purpose Of Review: There has been much variability in the definition of double outlet right ventricle (DORV) spanning the last century. Historically, emphasis has been placed on the assignment of the great arteries to the right ventricle as a definition of DORV. In this review, we aim to underscore the importance of conal muscle, rather than rules surrounding assignment of great arteries to ventricles.
