AbstractAtrioventricular septal defect with common atrioventricular junction is a relatively common congenital cardiac malformation. It sometimes presents challenging surgical problems, especially when seen in combination with tetralogy of Fallot. We describe herein our current concepts regarding surgical repair of atrioventricular septal defect with and without tetralogy, discussing indications for surgery, timing, technical aspects, and outcomes.

The most common congenital cardiac malformation that occurs in VACTERL association is ventricular septal defect. Scimitar syndrome is a very rare congenital anomaly of the heart occurring due to maldevelopment of the lung bud or the pulmonary vascularization during early embryogenesis. The occurrence of Scimitar syndrome in VACTERL and its association with another cardiac congenital anomaly such as Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is extremely rare. The association of Tetralogy of Fallot with Scimitar syndrome alters the management strategy. Hereby, a very rare combination of Scimitar syndrome and tetralogy of Fallot in a four-year-old boy with VACTERL is presented, who underwent a successful single-stage surgical correction.

Aortopulmonary window (APW) itself is a rare congenital cardiac malformation and its association with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) makes it more uncommon. We report a case of APW with TOF who presented at 4-year 10 months of age. As the boy was still in operable state, after thorough preoperative evaluation successful surgical repair was done.

The association of atrioventricular septal defect with common atrioventricular junction and malformations of the ventricular outflow tracts presents a significant challenge for the surgeon. In the most common of these, the association with tetralogy of Fallot, several surgical techniques have been described, and shown to deliver excellent results.1–10On the other hand, in the setting of more extreme malformations, such as double-outlet right ventricle, discordant ventriculo-arterial connections, or common arterial trunk, albeit rare lesions, the combination presents a more formidable surgical challenge, as evidenced by the few reports of successful repair of these lesions. This challenge is both physiological, when dealing with a very sick neonate or infant, as well as anatomical in terms of the complexity of the malformation and the ability to achieve a successful biventricular repair. Our goal in this review is to discuss the surgical treatment in the setting of tetralogy of Fallot and double outlet right ventricle, with emphasis on biventricular repair.

We describe a patient in whom we found dual orifices in a straddling and overriding tricuspid valve, with two normally sized ventricles and a cleft in the mitral valve. The patient underwent successful surgical repair. We discuss the concept of “double-orifice right atrium”, as well as the need to differentiate the isolated cleft of the morphologically mitral valve from the zone of apposition between the left ventricular components of the bridging leaflets seen in the setting of atrioventricular septal defect with common atrioventricular junction. We emphasise the unusual association of these abnormalities of the right and left atrioventricular valves in patients with separate atrioventricular junctions.

Congenital heart defects have been occasionally reported in cattle and ventricular septal defect represents the most frequently encountered anomaly. The double-outlet right ventricle is a rare congenital ventriculoarterial malformation reported only in certain cattle breeds. We describe this rare and complex congenital cardiac malformation observed in a 10-day-old male Chianina calf. Clinical examination showed tachycardia, tachypnea, jugular pulses, cyanotic mucous membranes and a right apical systolic murmur. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe dilation of the right-sided cardiac chambers with a markedly hypoplastic left ventricle. Both aorta and pulmonary artery leaving the right ventricle in parallel alignment with the tricuspid valve were suggestive of a dual-outlet right ventricle. Interventricular and interatrial septal defects were also visualized. Post-mortem examination confirmed the echocardiographic findings. To the authors’ knowledge, a similar complex congenital cardiac malformation has not been reported in calves of the Chianina breed to date.
