Stent implantation of an unusual morphology patent ductus arteriosus via Glidesheath slender
We describe our experience with a newborn with right atrial isomerism and dextrocardia, complete atrioventricular septal defect, aortic outlet right ventricle with pulmonary atresia, right aortic arch, and a PDA from the left innominate artery. Because the PDA was long and tortuous, we preferred placing three short stents instead of a single long stent. The procedure applied the femoral artery approach with a Glidesheath Slender to decrease arterial injuries. PDA stenting in challenging morphologies can be performed successfully using multiple short stents and via Glidesheath Slenders.PMID:34623303 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2021....

15q26 deletion in a patient with congenital heart defect, growth restriction and intellectual disability: case report and literature review
ConclusionWe report on an additional case of 15q26 monosomy, characterized by array-CGH. Molecular cytogenetic analysis allowed us to identify the exact size of the deletion, and four candidate genes for genotype-phenotype correlation. 15q26 monosomy should be considered when growth retardation is associated with hearing anomalies and congenita l heart defect, especially atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs) and/or aortic arch anomaly (AAA).

Cardiac surgery in patients with atrial isomerism: Long ‐term results and outcomes
ConclusionsThe survival of our institution is similar to that of other referral centers, where patients with LAI had a better evolution than RAI; in addition, the univentricular approach was required in all with RAI. Patients with AI must undergo a rigorous evaluation to determine an adequate repair strategy, considering univentricular RAI with a high possibility of morbidity and mortality.

Association of atrial septal fenestration with outcomes after atrioventricular septal defect repair: a Congenital Heart Surgeons ’ Society study.
During repair of atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), surgeons may leave an atrial level shunt when concerned about postoperative physiology, or as part of routine practice. However, the association of fenestration with outcomes is unclear. We sought to determine factors associated with mortality after biventricular repair of AVSD.

Propensity score matched analysis of cleft closure in complete atrioventricular septal defect repair
CONCLUSIONS: Repair of cAVSD can be achieved with low mortality and good long-term survival, however, the reoperation rate remains high. Similar freedom from reoperation can be achieved with or without closure of the LAVV cleft.PMID:34487709 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.07.096 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Commentary: Regionalization refines surgical dogma regarding trisomy 21 and atrioventricular septal defect
It is common surgical “dogma” that nonsyndromic patients with a complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) have a poorer prognosis than patients with trisomy 21. This is thought to be based on the observation that patients with trisomy 21 tend to have exuberant and excessive AV-valve tissue versus nonsyndromic pa tients who tend to have a dearth of AV valve tissue. An analysis of these patients by the group from Lund, Sweden, has helped to clarify and refine this dogma.1 (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)
