چکیده
Nondestructive, high-resolution 3-dimensional (3D) imaging of the embryonic heart remains a challenge in cardiovascular development research. In the past, several imaging techniques (eg, magnetic resonance microscopy, optical coherence tomography) were tested for their suitability to visualize the 3D morphology of embryonic hearts. Most of these imaging tools have their drawbacks with respect to resolution and depth penetration. Here we

متن کاملHolt-Oram Syndrome: A Rare Variant
Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
متن کاملImages in cardiovascular medicine. Three-dimensional echocardiography in criss-cross heart: could a specimen be better?
A 9-day-old neonate weighing 3 kg was referred to our institution for cyanosis and a systolic murmur. A 2-dimensional echocardiogram suggested SDL, levocardia, criss-cross heart with double-outlet right ventricle, hypoplasia of the tricuspid valve and right ventricle, and severe pulmonary stenosis. A real-time 3-dimensional echocardiogram (Sonos 7500, Philips Medical Systems, Andover, Mass) dem...
متن کاملRight atrial isomerism: preponderance in Asian fetuses. Using the stomach-distance ratio as a possible diagnostic tool for prediction of right atrial isomerism.
INTRODUCTION To present the characteristics and spectrum of associated anomalies in right- and left-sided isomerism in our local population and to assess the possibility of using stomach-distance ratio (SDR) of less than 0.34 as a diagnostic tool to predict right atrial isomerism. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of fetuses in our department over a period of 8 years with p...
متن کاملUse of 3-dimensional printing to demonstrate complex intracardiac relationships in double-outlet right ventricle for surgical planning.
D ouble-outlet right ventricle falls under the category of congenital heart disease known as conotruncal defects, which possess abnormal ventriculoarterial relationships. 1 For complex cases, the surgeon must determine whether the left ventricle and one of the great arteries can be aligned using the ventricular septal defect to construct an unobstructed pathway or baffle, resulting in a 2-ventr...
