ABSTRACT: Cardiac malformations are reported to be relatively rare in bovine species, with ventricular septal defects being the most common abnormality observed predominantly young calves. This report aims describe cardiac bovids and review literature related those this species. The necropsy reports of 1,783 were reviewed, 0.4% diagnosed a congenital defect. malformation detected study was defe...

anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (alcapa) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. we report three cases of alcapa who survived to adulthood. the first case was a 51-year-old woman who complained of typical chest pain that was diagnosed with alcapa using cardiac catheterization and coronary computed tomographic angiography (cta). the second case was a 30-...

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...

It was with great interest that we read the recently published artic1e by de Rubens Figueroa et al1 in REVISTA ESPAÑOLA DE CARDIOLOGÍA. The article contained a report that the most frequently observed isolated cardiac defects in Mexican children with Down syndrome are atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects. This observation, which has been described previously,2 contrasts with rep...

The present study of 47 necropsy cases of congenital heart disease has revealed that cardiac defects occur as frequently in the African as in the non-African. The types of congenital heart disease and the associated non-cardiac malformations are similar to what has been described in non-Africans. Tetrad of Fallot was the commonest type of multiple defect and ventricular septal defect the most c...

This case report describes the successful repair of an acquired ventricular septal defect following an anterior full thickness myocardial infarct in an 89 year old man. Four months after the infarct the patient was in severe congestive cardiac failure (NYHA Class IV), despite medical treatment, with signs of a ventricular septal defect. This was confirmed by echodoppler and cardiac catheterizat...

Twelve adult patients with ostium primum atrial septal defects (incomplete endocardial cushion defect) who underwent surgical repair of their lesions were evaluated in the late postoperative period. All had closure of the low-lying atrial septal defect, with suturing of the mitral valve cleft in 11 patients. Although the patients benefited symptomatically from the surgery, all had residual card...

The anatomy of the ostium primum atrial septal defect has been known since Rokitansky's description in 1875. However, until the introduction of cardiac catheterization and open heart surgery, information about the physiology and clinical features of this condition lagged behind knowledge of the morbid anatomy. Attempts at surgical correction have influenced the natural history, and information ...

Introduction: Orofacial clefts are among the most common congenital anomalies. Patients presenting with orofacial clefts often require surgery or other complex procedures. A cleft lip or palate can be a single anomaly or a part of multiple congenital anomalies. The reported prevalence of cleft disease and associated anomalies varies widely across the literature, and is dependent on the diagnost...
