SummaryWe present an unusual case of criss-cross heart with supero-inferior ventricles, double outlet of the right ventricle, restrictive ventricular septal defect, severe infundibular stenosis and “absent” pulmonary valve who underwent successful surgical repair. Complete preoperative diagnosis was established with cross-sectional echocardiography combined with colour Doppler and angiocardiography, which facilitated successful surgical correction.

Rare Association

Abstract 16p12.2 microdeletion has been associated with congenital heart defects and developmental delay. In this case, we describe the rare association between tetralogy of Fallot with an absent pulmonary valve a right-sided aortic arch and a retro-aortic innominate vein associated with a 16p12.2 microdeletion and epilepsy.

Right Ventricular Remodeling

We report long-term outcome after one-stage, surgical repair, in a two months-old girl with persistent truncus arteriosus type I, II. The operation was carried out with the remodeling of the right ventricle, using a swine bicuspid pulmonary prosthesis. Twenty-six years later, the patient is in excellent clinical condition, CF I (NYHA), with normal peripheral oxygen saturation. Recent invasive and not invasive imaging show: absence of intracardiac shunt and growing of the right ventricle outlet tract and discrete double lesion of the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary flow directed uniformly for both lungs. In selected cases, the long-term prognosis of patients with persistent truncus arteriosus, undergoing early surgical repair, avoiding the use of valved conduit, makes for an excellent evolution, without new interventions. Endovascular procedures, now well standardized, for the implantation of a pulmonary valve stent, through a catheter, will allow an effective approach, in the presence of late obstructions, in patients who have undergone right ventricular remodeling, without the use of valved conduits.

Dr. Engle: When pulmonic stenosis occurs as an isolated congenital malformation of the heart, it usually is due to fusion of the valve cusps into a dome with a small hole in the center. In Figure 1 the pulmonary artery has been laid open so that one can see the three leaflets of the pulmonary valve are completely fused, and that there is only a small, central, pinpoint opening which permits blood to leave the right ventricle and enter the pulmonary circulation. Valvular pulmonic stenosis is much more common than subvalvular or infundibular stenosis, where the obstruction to pulmonary blood flow lies within the substance of the right ventricle. There it may be due to a diaphragm of tissue which obstructs the outflow of the right ventricle, or to an elongated narrow tunnel lined with thickened endocardium, or to a ridge of fibrous or muscular tissue just beneath the pulmonary valve. The changes in the cardiovascular system which result from obstructed pulmonary blood flow are so characteristic that they permit the ready recognition of this condition. Proximal to the constriction, these changes manifest the burden placed on the right ventricle, which enlarges and hypertrophies. On physical examination this is demonstrated by the precordial bulge and tapping impulse just to the left of the sternum, where the rib cage overlies the anterior (right) ventricle. Radiographically, both by fluoroscopy and in roentgenograms in the frontal and both oblique views, right ventricular enlargement is seen. In the electrocardiogram, the precordial leads show a pattern of right ventricular hypertrophy.

Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

Abstract Background Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection draining into the right atrium with an intact atrial septum is a very rare clinical entity in the adult population. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection must be suspected as a differential diagnosis when the cause of right heart enlargement and pulmonary artery hypertension is unknown. Case presentation This study describes the surgical case of an isolated right partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the right atrium in a 68-year-old woman, who underwent tricuspid ring annuloplasty and right-sided maze procedure simultaneously. She had complaints of gradually progressing dyspnea on exertion. However, a diagnosis could not be established despite consultations at multiple hospitals for over a year. Right heart catheterization revealed severe pulmonary artery hypertension with a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 46 mmHg, step-up phenomenon of oxygen saturation at the mid-level of the right atrium with a pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio of 2.4, and a pulmonary vascular resistance of 3.1 Wood Units. As medical treatment with pulmonary artery vasodilator therapy did not improve her symptoms, she underwent surgical repair. An atrial septal defect was created surgically with a curvilinear tongue-shaped cut. The right anomalous pulmonary veins were rerouted through the surgically created atrial septal defect into the left atrium with a baffle comprised of the interatrial septum flap, kept in continuity with the anterior margin and sutured while mobilizing the enlarged right atrium. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and remains asymptomatic. Conclusions The described surgical technique could be considered an effective alternative for patients undergoing surgical repair for a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection isolated to the right atrium. The indication for surgery must be judged on a case-by-case basis in these patients with prevalent systemic-to-pulmonary shunting.

AbstractTricuspid atresia with absent pulmonary valve and intact ventricular septum is an extremely rare cardiac malformation, historically associated with a poor prognosis. Only a few cases with successful surgical palliation have been reported in the literature. We present the case of an 8-month-old infant with this malformation who underwent successful bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis with complete exclusion of the right ventricle.
