At 28th week of gestation a conotruncal malformation with ventricular septal defect was diagnosed by fetal echocardiography. Postnatal echocardiographic and angiocardiographic examinations confirmed the diagnosis of conotruncal malformation (pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, aortopulmonary collateral arteries). The unifocalization (age: 11 months) and total correction with aortic homograft (age: 7 years) were performed. To our knowledge our case is the first whose intrauterine diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease was confirmed after delivery and had successful two-stage surgical management.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of combining fetal heart sequential cross-sectional scanning with drawing methods, mind mapping, and case-based learning (CBL) for training in fetal conotruncal anomalies (CA) screening.
Method: An experimental control method was employed. Doctors participating in continuing fetal ultrasound education were randomly divided into two groups.

Conotruncal heart defects are severe congenital malformations of the outflow tract, including truncus arteriosus (TA) and double-outlet right ventricle (DORV). TA is a severe congenital heart disease (CHD) in which the main arterial outflow tract of the heart fails to separate. We recently reported TMEM260 (NM_017799.

Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed data from over 81,500 Trisomy 21 infants, revealing that 45% had CHD and significant percentages also had gastrointestinal anomalies like small intestinal atresia and Hirschsprung disease.
- * The research concluded that having CHD in infants with Trisomy 21 is linked to a higher likelihood of simultaneous gastrointestinal anomalies, suggesting a relevant pattern of coexistence.

Pathogenesis and Surgical Treatment of Dextro-Transposition of the Great Arteries (D-TGA): Part II.
J Clin Med

Department of Clinical Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Lodz, Mazowiecka 6/8, 92-215 Lodz, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is a serious congenital heart defect where the heart’s two main arteries are switched, leading to separation of pulmonary and systemic blood flow.
- The condition can occur on its own or alongside other heart issues and is influenced by a mix of genetic and environmental factors.
- Surgical intervention during infancy, including necessary procedures like balloon atrial septostomy and various corrective surgeries, is crucial for improving outcomes, as early diagnosis and treatment significantly enhance the chances of survival into adulthood.
