now-a-days truncus arteriosus has been known as “common arterial trunk” (cat) and is an uncommon congenital cardiac defect presenting in about 1-3% congenital heart disease. environmental and genetic factors effects on incidence of cat and other conotruncal anomalies. the majority patients with cat and 22q11 deletion have other anomalies such as hypoplasia or aplasia of the thymus or parath...

Endocarditis of the right side of the heart is otherwise uncommon in children. Pulmonary endarteritis as a complication of congenital heart disease is even rarer. Herein, we report the case of pulmonary endarteritis with a 7 mm ×5 mm vegetation, involving the main pulmonary artery in a 4-year-old male child, with cyanosis and a 1-week history of fever and rapidly-progressive hemiparesis. A full...

Ultrasound evaluation of the fetal heart can be performed. Knowledge of the embryology, anatomy, and function of the heart have led us to understand the pathophysiology of congenital heart disease. In this review we discuss the indications as well as some basic principles of fetal echocardiography.

objectives we investigated the menstrual bleeding pattern and its relationship with certain clinical findings in adult women with chd. patients and methods clinical data and menstrual bleeding pattern of adult women ≥15 years old who were referred to adult chd clinic between march and september 2014 were recorded. patients with syndromic congenital anomalies were excluded. results data of 304 w...

introduction patients with palliated congenital heart disease may present later in life for major, non-cardiac surgical procedures. although alternative surgical techniques are now available for the treatment of the transposition of the great arteries (tga), an atrial level baffle (mustard or senning procedure) was previously performed. long-term adverse effects of the atrial level switch inclu...

Background Oral cleft is the most common orofacial congenital anomaly among live births. This anomaly at birth is one of the main causes of children disability and mortality.  Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common anomalies in oral clefts.  This study aimed to assess the incidence of congenital heart diseases anomalies in newborns with oral clefts. Materials and Methods This ...

OBJECTIVE To identify the left inferior pulmonary vein as an indirect marker of increased pulmonary flow in congenital heart diseases. METHODS We carried out a prospective consecutive study on 40 patients divided into 2 groups as follows: G1--20 patients diagnosed with congenital heart disease and increased pulmonary flow; G2 (control group)--20 patients who were either healthy or had congeni...

Double orifice mitral valve is a rare congenital heart disease. We present a case in which 3D echocardiography helped clarify the underlying anatomy. The need exists for more extensive use of this technique to allow for surgical and pathological confirmation.
