Anatomic and physiologic assessment of surgical repair of scimitar syndrome can be challenging. We evaluated the first patient who underwent the Lugones procedure in 2012 using 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging. With this technology, we demonstrate that the reconstructed right pulmonary venous return drains into the left atrium with laminar flow, just as normal pulmonary veins do.

Transcatheter Embolization in Congenital Cardiovascular Malformations-Variable Use of Vascular Plugs.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical application and primary outcome of transcatheter embolization using Amplatzer™ Vascular Plug (AVP) Type 2 and Type 4 in different congenital cardiovascular malformations. This is a single-center retrospective observational cohort study. We analyzed clinical and imaging data of 36 patients retrospectively who received transcatheter embolizations of the following malformations using AVP: systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries (SPCA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), ventricular septal defects (VSD), and aberrant pulmonary sequestration arteries (PSA).

Aim: This study investigated the major factors contributing to the missed diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) in fetal echocardiography.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the prenatal ultrasonic images of 32 fetuses with missed diagnoses of TAPVC, compared them with autopsy and postnatal surgical records, and summarized the most likely reasons leading to the missed diagnoses.
Results: We studied a total of 157 fetuses with TAPVC, 32 (20.

Article Synopsis
- Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) can cause severe issues shortly after birth, making early detection crucial for better outcomes.
- Despite being a serious congenital heart condition, TAPVR is often not diagnosed before birth, even though there are known ultrasound markers.
- This commentary introduces a new color Doppler fetal sonographic marker that could help identify TAPVR prenatally, potentially preventing life-threatening complications.

Department of Pediatrics, Grande International Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Hypogenetic lung syndrome, commonly known as Scimitar syndrome, is a rare cardiopulmonary anomaly characterized primarily by anomalous pulmonary venous return and lung hypoplasia. While it is most frequently diagnosed in infancy or early childhood, cases in adulthood are exceedingly rare. We present a case of a middle-aged female who was diagnosed with Scimitar syndrome.

Background: Patients with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) usually present asymptomatic and accompanied by intricate anatomical types, which results in missed diagnosis from atrial septal defect (ASD). The present study aimed to explore the predictive variables of PAPVC from patients with ASD and constructed an explainable prediction model based on deep learning.
Methods: The retrospective study included 834 inpatients with ASD in Women and Children's Hospital, Qingdao University from January 2018 to January 2023.
