We have reviewed our experience of 29 patients with the association of ventricular septal defect and aortic regurgitation, 27 of whom have been treated surgically. Our present approach to the surgical management is outlined and the embryology and pathological anatomy are reviewed. The most common cause of aortic regurgitation was a prolapsed aortic valve cusp, which occurred in 19 patients. Ane...

Many surgical approaches have been taken when closing ventricular septal defects after correcting transposition of the great arteries in order to avoid postoperative complete heart block. We describe a residual ventricular septal shunt that developed after repair using de Leval's method in a patient with congestive heart failure. The defect was closed transaortically without a complete heart bl...

Background & Aims:  Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly, accounting for 28% of all congenital anomalies in infants. The present study was performed to determine the frequency, demographic characteristics, and clinical outcomes in neonates with CHD. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 341 neonates with CHD adm...

Coronary artery anomalies include the anomalies of origin, termination, and structure or course. Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are classified as the anomalies of termination and are considered a major congenital anomaly and are in the subgroup of acyanotic heart disease.1 • Atrial septal defect • Ventricular septal defect • Patent ductus arteriosus • Aortic stenosis • Pulmonary stenosis • Par...

cor triatriatum is an acyanotic congenital heart disease. we present a rare case of cor triatriatum sinistrum in a 6-month-old female infant who was presented with cyanosis and failure to thrive. the 2d transthoracic echocardiography and the doppler color flow imaging showed a proximal venous chamber communicating to the distal left atrium  through restrictive opening to the low-pressure, dista...

conclusions children with chd are at risk of severe complications with the involvement of other organs. long-term febrile illness should be taken seriously in these children. they need hospitalization and careful evaluation. case presentation a 6-year-old girl with a ventricular septal defect (vsd) was presented. echocardiography revealed large vegetation in the right ventricular outflow tract ...

A ventricular septal defect with delayed appearance is describedfollowing stab wound of the heart in a woman. The diagnosis was confirmed by left ventricular angiography. Damage to the left anterior descending coronary artery, documented by selective coronary arteriography, might have played an important role in late development of the shunt. The septal defect was closed successfully by a patch...

Abstract Background A higher prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHD) in neuroblastoma patients in general population is reported in some publications, however, some authors did not find such an association. The evidence for this relation comes from the observation that, the neural crest cells accompany to the development of the heart and neuroblastoma as well. Materials and Methods We...
