Segmental epidural anesthesia for cesarean section in a parturient with uncorrected Taussig–Bing anomaly with transposition of the great arteries physiology

Here, we report a rare case of a 23-year-old term parturient with Eisenmenger syndrome due to Taussig-Bing anomaly presenting with gestational hypertension, oligohydramnios, and intrauterine growth retardation posted for elective cesarean section. Preoperatively, echocardiography of the patient was suggestive of double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) with large sub-pulmonic ventricular septal def...

3D Printing in Surgical Management of Double Outlet Right Ventricle

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a heterogeneous group of congenital heart diseases that require individualized surgical approach based on precise understanding of the complex cardiovascular anatomy. Physical 3-dimensional (3D) print models not only allow fast and unequivocal perception of the complex anatomy but also eliminate misunderstanding or miscommunication among imagers and surge...

Abnormal Origin of the Left Subclavian Artery from the Left Pulmonary Artery in a Patient with Double Outlet Right Ventricle

Anomalous aortic origin of the left subclavian artery (LSCA) from the left pulmonary artery (LPA) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. We describe a case of LSCA from the LPA via ductus arteriosus in association with a double-outlet right ventricle, which never has been reported previously in Korea.
