Background: Scimitar syndrome (SS) or congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome is a rare anomaly, most commonly including partial pulmonary venous drainage into the inferior vena cava, right lung hypoplasia, dextroposition of the heart, and anomalous systemic arterial supply from aorta or one of its branches to the right lung. Case report: A 10-day-old female infant was referred to our hospital...

We present a series of 4 patients in whom a ventricular septal defect (VSD) was closed with an Amplatzer muscular VSD device during cardiac catheterization. In one patient with type I truncus arteriosus and subarterial VSD, closure of a wide apical defect was done to allow further surgical correction while avoiding left ventricular ventriculotomy. The second patient had congenitally corrected t...

The occurrence of various congenital anomalies, including heart defects, in children whose mothers had suffered from rubella during pregnancy was originally described by Gregg (1941) in Australia and these observations have been confirmed by many other workers. There is, however, surprisingly little detailed information available about the particular types of congenital heart defect that may oc...

Closure of residual ventricular septal defect with an occluder is traditionally performed by a percutaneous transcatheter approach under radiographic guidance. However, this procedure may be of limited use in cases with unusually shaped defects and in patients with low body weight. Here, we report minimally invasive surgical device closure of a 6 mm residual ventricular septal defect under tran...

Ninety two patients with both atrioventricular valves attached to the atrial septum, roofing a perimembranous inlet ventricular septal defect, were assessed by cross-sectional echocardiography. In the group, 42 had an isolated perimembranous inlet ventricular septal defect, 31 had atrioventricular discordance, nine an atrioventricular septal defect with intact interatrial septum, and 10 a strad...

The presence oflow frequency diastolic murmurs, presumably due to increased flow through the respective atrio-ventricular valves, has been recognized in patients with atrial and ventricular septal defects for many years. The murmur in ventricular septal defect was reported by Laubry and Pezzi in 1921 and emphasized by Wood (1950). A publication from this institute drew attention to this phenome...

Objective: Perventricular device closure of ventricular septal defect through midline sternotomy avoids the cardiopulmonary bypass, however, lacks the cosmetic advantage. Perventricular device closure of ventricular septal defect with transverse split sternotomy was performed to add the cosmetic advantage of mini-invasive technique. Methods: Thirty-six pediatric patients with mean age 7.14±3....
