This video demonstrates Dr James Tweddell's surgical management of a neonatal patient with a double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect (Taussig-Bing anomaly), d-malposed great vessels, and severely hypoplastic aortic arch.

The authors present a challenging case of device removal for a persistent ventricular septal defect with a significant left-to-right shunt.

Chen and colleagues retrospectively compared outcomes for children who underwent intraoperative device closure of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) via two different approaches. VSD closure was performed through a minimal incision in the lower sternum in 52 patients and through a right transthoracic minimal incision in 46 patients.

The authors present two Nikaidoh procedures performed for different underlying anatomies and they discuss aspects of the operation.

Viktor Hraska discusses the motivation behind CTSNet's first Congenital Guest Editor Series and describes the important congenital heart surgery techniques that it covers.

Chen and colleagues present their experience closing ventricular septal defects with a device using a minimally invasive surgical approach that does not require cardiopulmonary bypass. This approach relies on transthoracic echocardiography for device guidance and was substantially cheaper than transcatheter approaches.

Patient CareHigher risk of death from coronary artery disease was noted for Americans who drank higher quantities of sugary beverages but not for those who ate more sugary foods.

This video demonstrates pulmonary root translocation for dextro-transposition of the great arteries. This technique maintains the growth potential of the native pulmonary valve and avoids the need for a right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit and for coronary handling.

The authors report a rare patient with complete Cantrell’s pentalogy associated with a left ventricular diverticulum, who underwent an uncomplicated full repair.
