This study reviewed records to establish how primary complete repair of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) compares with staged repair. It was found that the survival rates of both methods are high, although the use of smaller shunts has resulted in earlier complete repair and is associated with increased risk of morbidity.

This video shows the technique of minimally invasive repair of partial atrioventricular septal defect in an eleven-year-old via vertical right axillary thoracotomy.

This video presents the case of a sixty-six-year-old woman with an association of anteroapical left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and an anterior postinfarction ventricular septal defect (VSD).

A half-turned truncal root is a complex cardiac surgical procedure that can be carried out with good success. It provides good hemodynamics and better growth potential in children with complex TGA.

This video describes repair of a ventricular septal rupture presumed to be from an ischemic event after a failed percutaneous device closure using an anterior approach and a single patch technique.

Although preoperative exchange transfusion is frequently recommended in patients with homozygous sickle cell anemia undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, the information regarding the ideal level of sickle hemoglobin for patients undergoing the surgery is still conflicting in the literature.

An infant born prematurely with a double-outlet right ventricle became the youngest ever patient to undergo a ventricular switch procedure. In this rare case, the ventricular septal defect was remote, preventing a standard repair. The operation was successful, and the patient was discharged from the hospital at sixteen months old.

This video shows one surgeon’s technique of an en bloc double root translocation in an infant with d-TGA, VSD, PS, and LVOTO.

Repair of bridging bronchus and tracheal stenosis, which is often associated with left pulmonary artery sling, ventricular septal defects, and aortic coarctation, can be performed safely in the neonatal age group. This video demonstrates one such case.

We present an operative technique video of the anatomic repair of congenitally corrected transposition (ccTGA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary atresia (PS), and mild right ventricular hypoplasia in a 2-year-old palliated with a 3.5mm rmBTS (and coronary artery fistula ligation) in the neonatal period, followed by a rmBTS takedown and bidirectional Glenn shunt at 4m/o.
