Fuhrman and colleagues investigated the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in young adults with congenital heart disease undergoing a surgical procedure, a group of patients that is increasing in number. They retrospectively analyzed data...
This study addressed the long-term results of the réparation à l’étage ventriculaire (REV) procedure for double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with pulmonary stenosis...
This video describes a simple method of complete reconstruction of a truncal valve using equine pericardium in a one-year-old patient with severe truncal valve regurgitation. Surgical Technique Through a transverse...

Objectives Treatment of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (VSD) has traditionally been surgical. Surgery most often includes midline sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioplegic arrest, and patch closure of the defect. Devices...
Cone reconstruction of the tricuspid valve for Ebstein’s anomaly is a significant innovation in the management of Ebstein’s anomaly, and has shown favorable results (1). This repair entails significant delamination...
Direct closure was the first described surgical treatment for complete atrioventricular canal (CAVC) (1). At the expense of increasing complexity, double-patch repair was introduced to minimize the risk of left...
This video highlights the general approach to both complete and partial sternal cleft repair in two pediatric patients. The preoperative presentation was dramatic as both patients presented for surgery later...
Results of an audit of the National Congenital Heart Disease database were evaluted to determine characteristics of patients undergoing reoperation within 30 days of their primary procedure. Among over 18,000...
The authors determined the need for transannular patch enlargement (TAPE) in management of ToF by measuring the ratio between pulmonary annulus size to aortic valve annulus size (GA ratio). A...
This video shows a rare variety of ALCAPA, where the left coronary artery originated from the non-facing sinus of the pulmonary artery. The associated left SVC was connected to the...
A large left atrial myxoma arising from the posterior wall near the origin of the left pulmonary vein is very rare. Excision of the area of origin is a newer...
Results of AV valve surgery in patients with Fontan circulation were evaluated over a 23 year period. 54 (9.3%) of patients requird AV valve surgery, mostly prior to the Fontan...
