AbstractPulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect is associated with variable sources of pulmonary blood supply. We present a case of a coronary artery to pulmonary artery collateral as the principal source of pulmonary blood supply.

Simple uncomplicated forms of congenital heart disease in adults - pulmonary artery stenosis, non-healing of the Botall's duct - although they are a rarity, still studied more or less enough, and their lifelong recognition is not particularly difficult. Unfortunately, this cannot be said of another heart anomaly, a ventricular septal defect.

Congenital coronary-pulmonary artery fistula is rare in patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. The nomenclature, physiological, clinical, and surgical implications of these fistulas are yet to be defined. We report a one-year-old child with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and a right coronary-pulmonary artery fistula who also had a diminutive, disconnected left pulmonary artery in addition to aortopulmonary collaterals. The patient underwent corrective surgery. However, the fate of diminutive pulmonary arteries is unknown. The literature was reviewed to explore the clinical or surgical implications of such fistulas for improved understanding and management in the future.

AbstractBackground:Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and severe tetralogy of Fallot require a palliative procedure for pulmonary artery rehabilitation. For first-stage palliation, two main surgical options are still debated: right ventricle to pulmonary artery connection and modified Blalock–Taussig shunt. We compared the clinical outcomes of the two procedures.Methods:From 1995 to 2018, 88 patients needed palliation (pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect n = 47; tetralogy of Fallot n = 41). Among these patients, 70 modified Blalock–Taussig shunt and 18 transannular path augmentation were performed before 6 months of age. Using a 1:1 propensity score match analysis, 20 patients were included in the analysis. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality and pulmonary artery growth.Results:After matching, the pre-operative Nakata was smaller in transannular path augmentation 54 ± 24 mm2/m2 than modified Blalock–Taussig shunt 109 ± 31 mm2/m2 (p < 0.001). The age and weight were similar (p = 0.31 and p = 0.9, respectively). There was no difference in in-hospital mortality (p = 0.3). The Nakata index before biventricular repair and delta Nakata were smaller in modified Blalock–Taussig shunt group (206 ± 80 mm2/m2, 75 ± 103 mm2/m2) than transannular path augmentation (365 ± 170 mm2/m2, 214 ± 165 mm2/m2; p = 0.03; p < 0.001). Median time to biventricular repair was similar (p = 0.46). The rate of interstage reintervention was similar (p = 0.63).Conclusions:The transannular path augmentation is better for the rehabilitation of the native pulmonary artery. Despite a smaller pulmonary artery, right ventricle to pulmonary artery connection is equivalent to modified Blalock–Taussig shunt for rate of biventricular repair and time to biventricular repair.

AbstractA male child, with d-transposition of great arteries, a large perimembranous ventricular septal defect, multiple additional ventricular septal defects, small muscle-bound right ventricle, and severe pulmonary stenosis with confluent, moderate-sized branch pulmonary arteries, underwent an emergency right modified Blalock–Taussig shunt on day 15 of life and réparation à l’étageventriculaire procedure with ventricular septal defect closure with takedown of the Blalock–Taussig shunt at 2.5 years of age. On follow-up, he showed a moderate residual upper ventricular septal defect and multiple apical ventricular septal defects, mild mid-right pulmonary artery stenosis, free pulmonary regurgitation, and right ventricular dysfunction. Surgical re-intervention was deemed extremely risky, the upper muscular ventricular septal defect was closed using an 8-mm Amplatzer Muscular Ventricular Septal Defect Occluder Device, and an 18 mm Amplatzer Multi-Fenestrated Septal Occluder – Cribriform was used for the multiple apical muscular ventricular septal defects. After 1 year, his right pulmonary artery stenosis worsened, for which right pulmonary artery angioplasty was carried out using an 8×20 mm cutting balloon followed by a 10×20 mm Tyshak II balloon. This is the only case reported for the paediatric age group using a cribriform septal occluder device for percutaneous closure of multiple apical ventricular septal defects.
