This video features a one-day-old, 3kg neonate with a prenatal diagnosis of a cardiac mass. The postnatal transthoracic echocardiogram shows a large left ventricular mass occupying the majority of the left ventricular cavity and extending into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). Other small masses also appear to be in the interventricular septum and on…
Bridging the bronchus and tracheal stenosis can be associated with congenital heart defects like atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, and aortic coarctation. This video features a case of bridging the bronchus and severe tracheal stenosis associated with left pulmonary artery sling, ventricular septal defect, and aortic coarctation. This case was successfully…
An eleven-day-old female neonate, 4.3kg, presented with cyanosis and had a postnatal diagnosis of transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and aortic arch hypoplasia with coarctation. Prostaglandins were initiated to maintain ductal patency. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed moderate-to-large size paramembranous VSD, TGA with significant aortic, and pulmonary annular sizes mismatch. There…
Redo coronary artery bypass grafting can be technically challenging, presenting the surgeon with the difficulty of sternal re-entry with patent grafts, more advanced coronary disease, and typically sicker patients. This video features a case of a left thoracotomy to spare a patient undergoing a redo CABG from repeat sternotomy. A significant, unstentable obtuse marginal was…

The patient is a fifteen-month-old, 9kg girl with Alagille syndrome and liver dysfunction who presented with suprasystemic right ventricular pressure due to severe bilateral branch pulmonary arterial stenoses. She underwent multiple transcatheter balloon dilation of her branch pulmonary arteries. Her preoperative liver function tests were abnormally elevated. Also, the preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan showed…
