Partial muscular inter-ventricular septal defect (VSD) or Pacman heart is a rare congenital or occasionally acquired anomaly. Concurrent Pacman heart and Shone's complex are extremely rare and have never been reported until now. We described a 37-year-old male patient with congenital Pacman heart, flail mitral valve (FMV), and a history of multiple congenital anomalies, including subvalvular ao...

this study was conducted to assess the incidence of abnormalities of ventricular depolarization (late potentials) in children with sinus rhythm after open heart surgery and their relation to spontaneous ventricular tachycardia. open heart surgery, particularly operations involving ventriculotomy, may predispose patients to the development of ventricular tachycardia (vt) or ventricular fibrillat...

introduction: infective endocarditis (ie) causes serious complications in patients. congenital heart disease (chd) is an important underlying condition in children. case presentation: a 6-year-old girl with ventricular septal defect (vsd) was presented. echocardiography revealed large vegetation in right ventricular outflow tract near the pulmonary valve. the patient showed clinical symptoms of...

one of the complications of twinning of mono chorionic mono amniotic gestations is conjointed twins. structural congenital malformations occur in 5 % to 7 % of twin gestations versus only 3 % of singleton births. most defects occurring in only one of the twin fetuses. occasional anomalies such as omphalocele sincenomalia heart defect one reported in both concordance. the structural defect commo...

abstract hypoplastic right ventricular is a rare congenital heart disease. a few cases have been reported. we presented a case with hypoplastic right ventricular and multiple associated anomaly (ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis) in whom the main concern was whether biventricular repair or fontan type surgery would be the optimal management in this patient. ...

critical pulmonary valve stenosis (cpvs) and atrial septal defect (asd) is an uncommon form of congenital heart disease. concurrent transcatheter pulmonary valvuplasty and closure of secundum atrial septal defect appears to be an interesting alternative to surgical correction. we present the simultaneous balloon valvuloplasty of critical pulmonary stenosis (ps) with supra systemic right ventric...

Background: Congenital heart disease is the most common type of maternal abnormality and is the leading cause of mortality in the first year of life. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological and related factors of congenital heart disease (CHD) in children referred to the pediatric heart clinic of Vali-e-Asr Hospital of Birjand, Iran. <e...

a secundum atrial septal defect is the most common congenital heart defect. transcatheter treatment of secundum atrial septal defects is a popular and less invasive alternative to surgery. procedural complications may occur in a wide spectrum, particularly device embolus as the most emergent one, but luckily they do not commonly occur in the clinical setting. mortality from adverse events relat...
