Congenital mitral valve stenosis is a rare pathology. In this study, we aimed to present our surgical approach and successful valve repair to a case with congenital mitral valve stenosis combined with left persistent superior vena cava. Conservative surgery of the congenital mitral valve stenosis can be performed with acceptable early and midterm outcome in terms of mortality and reoperation ra...

VACTERL/VATER association is typically defined by the presence of at least three of the following congenital malformations: vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheo-esophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities. In addition to these core component features, patients may also have other congenital anomalies. Although diagnostic criteria vary, the incidence is estim...

A 55-year-old male presented with stroke. Transesophageal echocardiogram and cardiac computed tomography revealed an unrecognized congenital malformation of the anterior mitral leaflet associated with anomalous left coronary circumflex artery, arising from the right coronary artery, diagnosed first by echocardiogram. This case represents a unique unforeseen mitral valve anomaly that might be co...

Background Throughout the literature, cardiac MRI (CMR) has become an important diagnostic tool in evaluating congenital cardiac abnormalities. In heterotaxy syndrome, the axis of the body during fetal development fails to rotate correctly resulting in complex cardiovascular abnormalities. We hypothesize that CMR aids in the detection of anatomical and physiological anomalies presented in patie...

OBJECTIVE To determine the survival status of children with Down syndrome (DS), and to document factors influencing survival. DESIGN Follow-up study of cases identified from the Dublin European Register of Congenital Anomalies and Twins (EUROCAT) Register. Follow-up was attempted for each case until death or 1992 or until the date last known to be alive. SETTING Eastern Health Board, Dublin...

AIM To describe the epidemiology of congenital anomalies in Glasgow with special reference to secular trends. METHODS The prevalence of congenital anomalies was determined retrospectively in 233 777 births using the Glasgow Register of Congenital Anomalies for the period 1980-97. RESULTS The total prevalence of congenital anomalies was 324 per 10 000 births, declining by just over a third f...

Background:Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the commonest of all congenital lesions and most common type among children. Congenital disease, in a definition proposed by Mitchell et al gross structural abnormality or intrathoracic great vessels that actually potentially functional significance. It cause major anomalies, representing global health problem. Twenty-eight percent anomalies consist ...

Cantrell Pentalogy is a rare congenital anomaly that affects the development of organs in thorax and abdomen fetus, characterized by five primary defects: anterior abdominal wall defects, sternal diaphragmatic cardiac anomalies, defects other such as lungs, liver, kidneys, central nervous system. It named after American physician Everett R. Cantrell, who first described condition 1958. an extre...
