The surgical technique used in this video is suitable for patients with mixed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) in whom the right and left pulmonary venous systems drain through separate vertical veins and...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Jacques Kpodonu, a cardiac surgeon at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and Assistant Professor of Surgery...

This study compared two types of conduits used for systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunts in children with congenital heart disease: synthetic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts and biological saphenous vein homografts (SVH). Across 16...
This US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved prospective, single-arm, multicenter early feasibility study evaluated the Autus Size-Adjustable Valve (ASAV), a surgically implanted, fully synthetic, balloon-expandable pulmonary valve for children requiring...
Martin and colleagues describe two efforts to improve outcomes within the congenital heart disease field: the Improving Pediatric and Adult Congenital Treatments (IMPACT) Registry and the National Pediatric Cardiology-Quality Improvement...
Vitanova and colleagues reviewed outcomes of systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt surgery to identify potential risk factors for negative outcomes in neonates. Between 2000 and 2016, 305 shunts were implanted in 280...
Kiener and colleagues evaluated survival for patients receiving either an arterial or atrial switch operation for d-transposition of the great arteries. The authors evaluated operation data from the Pediatric Cardiac...
Soquet and colleagues reviewed records from 289 pediatric patients who underwent 376 cavopulmonary connection (CPC) procedures to determine the incidence and associated complications of chylothorax following these procedures. The authors...
In this interview, Shruti Jayakumar of King’s College London School of Medicine in the UK and Martin Elliott of the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, UK, discuss...
Currently the posterior translocation of the aorta, the Nikaidoh procedure, is utilized in: complete transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and left ventricular outflow tract...
The half-turned truncal switch operation is suitable for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) or TGA-type double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with left ventricular outflow obstruction, anteroposterior relationship of the...
En bloc rotation of the outflow tracts offers a complete anatomic repair of complex transposition of the great arteries, with growth potential in all tubular structures and the option of...
