Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. In patients with a small pulmonary annulus, repair often requires a transannular patch, resulting in progressive pulmonary regurgitation and eventual right ventricular dilation and...
This study demonstrates that using autologous right atrial appendage (RAA) tissue to create a neovalve during RVOT reconstruction is a safe and effective alternative for pediatric patients with congenital heart...
Congenital diverticulum of the ventricle is a rare cardiac malformation and is usually associated with other congenital abnormalities, including intracardiac, midline thoracic, diaphragmatic, and anterior abdominal wall defects, first described...
This video completes a day of excellent presentations by leading surgeons exploring advanced minimally invasive techniques including congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) surgery, endoscopic transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) explantation,...
This study examines the relationship between public interest in cardiothoracic surgical conditions and corresponding research output during a 21-year period (2004–2024). Public interest was assessed using Google Trends data and...
A seven-month-old, 8.5 kg infant was followed clinically for a large ventricular septal defect (VSD) until an echocardiographic evaluation raised concerns regarding aortic valve (AV) regurgitation secondary to a new...
The patient is a twenty-three-month-old boy with total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and secundum atrial septal defect (ASD II) initially treated with a TAPVR correction...
The patient is a five-year-old girl weighing 21 kg with right isomerism, right-sided superior vena cava (SVC), and left-sided inferior vena cava (IVC). The patient’s pulmonary venous confluence drained to...
A collection of congenital cardiac defects known as TAPVC are those in which the pulmonary veins empty into the right atrium or any of its branches. Based on the level...
A one-month-old baby presented to the pulmonology unit at Mansoura University Children’s Hospital, Mansoura, Egypt, with respiratory distress and a wheezy chest. A chest X-ray showed an opacified right side...
This video is part of CTSNet’s 2023 Innovation Video Competition. Watch all entries into the competition, including the winning videos. Myocardial bridging is a rare congenital anomaly presenting a segment...
As a part of the 2023 joint international conference of the African Academy for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery and the African Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons, Professor William...
At the 2023 EACTS Annual Meeting, CTSNet Editor in Chief Joel Dunning and CTSNet senior editors set out to interview the most knowledgeable CT surgeons from around the world. Stay...
