What Are Common Vascular Rings and Slings?
Discussion
Vascular rings and slings are not that common a congenital heart problem (about 1% of all congenital heart defects), but do occur and arise from abnormal embryological development of the major vascular structures.
Embryologically the great vessels and their major branches arise from the aortic sac.
The aortic sac forms two horns – a right and a left. These horns then form aortic arches.
The aortic arches with their paired branches then course into the pharyngeal arches.
Initially these aortic/pharyngeal arches have symmetric vascular pairs, but as development progresses they become asymmetric (basically du...

What Are Some Radiographic Signs of Congenital Heart Disease?
Discussion
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return causes snowman sign on a chest x-ray. The pulmonary veins fail to connect normally to the left atrium. Alternate pathways direct flow to the right atrium and then across an atrial communication. The admixture of blood at the atrial level and the right to left atrial shunt result in the cyanosis. It may present at birth because of obstruction to the pulmonary veins.
“Characteristic heart shapes in patients with congenital heart disease are often due to long standing hemodynamic changes and are therefore less commonly seen today on [chest x-ray] because patients with c...
