Introduction Congenital heart defects (CHD) are one of the most common congenital anomalies, and their association with assisted reproductive technology (ART) is controversial in different populations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate this association and to provide information about the necessity of specialized echocardiography during pregnancy with ART. Methods This retrospective study was performed on all pregnancies conceived by ART and referred for fetal echocardiography to the Rasoul Akram and Akbar Abadi hospitals in Tehran, Iran...

We report the case of a 9-year-old male with severe congenital pulmonary valve stenosis referred to our centre for percutaneous valvotomy. On admission, trans-thoracic echocardiogram confirmed a unicuspid pulmonary valve with a peak/mean pulmonary valve gradient of 91/53 mmHg and a pulmonary annulus of 13.8 mm (-0.8 Z Score). It also showed an enlarged RV (RV/LV ratio 0,9). During cardiac catheterisation, an additional atrial septal defect (secundum) with significant left to right shunt (Qp/Qs > 2) was diagnosed, which was not amenable to percutaneous closure...

• Unroofed CS is a rare cause of atrial-level shunting and right heart dilatation. • Unroofed CS is commonly diagnosed in adulthood. • TTE is the primary modality to recognize and diagnose unroofed CS. • CCT and/or magnetic resonance imaging should be done as complementary studies before CS repair.

BACKGROUND: Congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) is a vascular malformation in which portal blood drains toward the systemic circulation, leading to pulmonary hypertension. CASE PRESENTATION: A 10-year-old patient was brought for evaluation because of dyspnea on exertion. Echocardiography revealed a pulmonary hypertension of 75 mmHg, and multi-slice CT angiography revealed the presence of a CPSS. Closure was finally implemented using a muscular ventricular septal defect device...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of surgical treatment of mitral valve disease is to reverse heart failure and to restore life expectancy and quality of life (QoL). In mitral valve surgery, QoL has not been studied extensively, especially regarding the surgical approach. The current study aimed to evaluate QoL after mitral valve surgery through full sternotomy and a minimally invasive approach (MIMVS). METHODS: All patients undergoing mitral valve surgery between 2013-2018 through sternotomy or a MIMVS approach (right anterolateral mini-thoracotomy, sternal-sparing), with or without concomitant tricuspid valve surgery, surgical ablation, or atrial septal defect closure were eligible for inclusion in this multicentre nationwide registry in the Netherlands...

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: CHARGE syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by several distinct features. The presence of fetal ear abnormalities could be the early indicator of CHARGE syndrome. Subsequent prenatal diagnosis is essential to confirm the disorder. This is significant because the patient may receive genetic counseling and appropriate disposal based on the accurate diagnosis. ABSTRACT: CHARGE syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with multiple specific clinical features...

BACKGROUND: Paradoxical embolism is a rare cause of acute arterial occlusion. This phenomenon arises when embolic material travels from the venous system crosses an abnormal shunt such as patent foramen ovale, atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, or pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, into the arterial system. Impending paradoxical embolism refers to the presence of an entrapped thrombus in the patent foramen ovale. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 68-year-old female patient who presented with an impending paradoxical embolism, alongside both concomitant pulmonary embolism and myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation...

We present the case of a minimally invasive surgical correction for failed percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in a 57-year-old female patient with residual ASD, tricuspid regurgitation, atrial fibrillation, and embolization of one of two occluders to the superior mesenteric artery. Our surgical approach consisted of anterolateral minithoracotomy, aortic and femoral vein cannulation, cryoablation, cardiac device removal, closure of ASD with autologous pericardium, and tricuspid repair. The procedure was uneventful and patient was discharged home on postoperative day 4...

BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a prevalent congenital cardiac malformation, which lacks effective early biological diagnosis and intervention. MicroRNAs, as epigenetic regulators of cardiac development, provide potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD. However, the mechanisms underlying miRNAs-mediated regulation of cardiac development and CHD malformation remain to be further elucidated. This study aimed to explore the function of microRNA-20b-5p (miR-20b-5p) in cardiac development and CHD pathogenesis...

REVIEW
Clara Guijarro, Robert G Kelly
Congenital heart defects (CHD) affect 1 in 100 live births and result from defects in cardiac development. Growth of the early heart tube occurs by the progressive addition of second heart field (SHF) progenitor cells to the cardiac poles. The SHF gives rise to ventricular septal, right ventricular and outflow tract myocardium at the arterial pole, and atrial, including atrial septal myocardium, at the venous pole. SHF deployment creates the template for subsequent cardiac septation and has been implicated in cardiac looping and in orchestrating outflow tract development with neural crest cells...

INTRODUCTION: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas that can be lethal in large doses and may also cause physiological damage in lower doses. Epidemiological studies suggest that CO in lower doses over time may impact on embryo development, in particular cardiac development, however other studies have not observed this association. METHODS: Here, we exposed chick embryos in ovo to CO at three different concentrations (3, 9, 18 ppm) plus air control (4 protocols in total) for the first 9 days of development, at which point we assessed egg and embryo weight, ankle length, developmental stage, heart weight, ventricular wall thickness, ventricular-septal thickness and atrial wall thickness...

AIMS: We present the experience and long-term results of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE)-guided closure of ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) in two Italian centers and investigate its systematic applicability as the gold standard in routine clinical practice. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive patients who underwent an ASD percutaneous closure procedure from March 2008 to February 2020. All patients underwent a preprocedural transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) evaluation...

BACKGROUND: Inverted left atrial appendage (iLAA) is an infrequent complication following cardiac surgery, seen both in children and adults. Following a recent encounter, this review article is aimed to remind the reader about its occurrence, clinical manifestations, differential diagnoses, and management options. CASE SUMMARY: A 3-month-old baby underwent successful surgical repair of a large ventricular septal defect. Intraoperative epicardial echocardiogram at the end of the case demonstrated an unexpected left atrial mass, raising suspicion of a thrombus adjacent to the mitral valve...
