Isolated absent pulmonary valve with intact ventricular septum in a young child: A rare case report.

Department of Cardiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Absent pulmonary valve syndrome, commonly linked with tetralogy of Fallot and ventricular septal defect, is a rare congenital condition. It is exceedingly rare to have an isolated absent pulmonary valve with an intact ventricular septum without cardiovascular shunt lesions, such as an atrial/ventricular septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus. This report presents a case of such rarity involving a young child with recurrent lower respiratory tract infections.

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).

- A unique case study describes a preschooler with a right-sided BH and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), requiring two different surgical approaches for treatment.
- This case is the first documented instance of a pediatric right-sided BH involving the appendix alongside congenital heart disease, leading to the proposal of the term Bhende-Pathak hernia for this variant.

Effective resuscitation of neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) depends on comprehensive planning, thorough understanding of physiology, vigilant monitoring, and interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve the best outcomes. Neonatal heart disease can affect cardiac structure, rhythm, or ventricular function, and may be either congenital or acquired. Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) can result in inadequate pulmonary blood flow, impaired intracardiac mixing, airway obstruction, or insufficient cardiac output.

Introduction: Lymphobronchial tuberculosis (LBTB) is a tuberculous lymphadenopathy causing airway compression in young children. While it can occur in older children due to factors such as airway size, wall weakness, and immune reconstitutions, severe airway obstruction is more common in younger children.
Methods: Chest X-rays show airway compression, while bronchoscopy is the gold standard for confirming TB-induced airway compression.
