Abstract An 18-month-old male with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect presented with stridor after neonatal systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt surgery, that persisted on follow-up. CT angiography revealed a vascular ring with balanced double aortic arch.

AbstractTruncus arteriosus communis is a rare CHD, accounting for only 1% of all congenital cardiac abnormalities. It has been associated with other malformations of the heart, mainly truncal valve (bicuspid/quadricuspid) and aortic arch abnormalities such as right, interrupted, and hypoplastic aortic arch. Cor tratriatrum sinistrum is another rare CHD, and it has been associated with other cardiac defects such as anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, ventricular septal defect, coarctation of the aorta, and tetralogy of Fallot. The combination of truncus arteriosus communis and cor tratriatrum sinistrum has not been reported so far. This case study describes the diagnosis of a unique case, including these two very rare cardiac defects and the successful surgical treatment thereafter.

Abstract Objectives Double aortic arch (DAA) is a rare congenital vascular malformation. This study aims to summarize the experience of diagnosis and surgical treatment for congenital double aortic arch. Methods The clinical data of 24 cases with double aortic arch (DAA) from January 2008 to January 2018 in our hospital was reviewed retrospectively. Results A total of 24 cases, including 12 patients with isolated DAA and 12 patients with DAA and associated intracardiac defects were identified. There were 14 males and 10 females, with an average age of 11 months. The associated intracardiac malformations included ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), transposition of the great arteries (TGA), pulmonary stenosis (PS), and patent foramen ovale (PFO). Of the 12 patients with DAA and intracardiac malformations, 7 patients underwent intracardiac repair simultaneously, however, 3 patients underwent isolated double aortic arch correction. One patient with DAA and TGA underwent surgical correction of congenital vascular ring at the first stage, and the arterial switch operation was performed at the second stage. The clinical outcomes of 23 patients were promising, however, in one patient, parents decided not to do the surgery due to personal reasons. The average follow-up time was 35 months. Conclusions Tracheal and esophageal compression are commonly seen in patients with DAA, however could be relieved significantly after surgery. In particular cases, the simultaneous intracardiac defects repair could be performed. Misdiagnosis was easily established with isolated echocardiography. Fortunately, the correct diagnosis of DAA and associated intracardiac defects could be established with the use of combined chest computed tomography.

Introduction: The naturally poor survival of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA+VSD) has improved due to evolved perioperative and surgical treatment. Studies including PA+VSD patients, both with and without major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs), with extensive follow-up are scarce. This nationwide study aimed to investigate survival and surgical treatment in PA+VSD patients with and without MAPCAs. Methods: Study comprised 109 PA+VSD patients born in Finland between 1970 and 2007. We reviewed retrospectively medical records and operative reports through December 2011, as well as first available angiograms and preoperative angiograms prior to repair attempt. Results: The median follow-up time for the total study population, including also patients who died during the follow-up, was 11.4 years (IQR 0.8 - 21.1). The incidence of PA+VSD, which could be determined reliably from 1995 to 2007, was 6.1 per 100 000 live births. Although the patients with (n = 43) or without MAPCAs (n = 66) showed no difference in survival (p = 0.74), the patients without MAPCAs had better probability to achieve repair (64% vs. 28%, p < 0.0001). The bigger size of true central pulmonary arteries assessed by McGoon index at first angiogram [HR 0.66 (CI95% 0.49 - 0.88) per 0.5 McGoon index units, p = 0.006] and achievement of repair [HR 0.07 (CI95% 0.03 - 0.17), p < 0.0001] improved the overall survival. After successful repair survival was 93% at 1 year and 91% from 2 years on. Palliated patients, instead, had survival at 1, 5, 10, and 20 years of age of 55%, 42%, 34%, and 20% respectively. However, patients with right ventricle - pulmonary artery connection and septal fenestration had better survival than rest of the palliated patients (p = 0.001). Palliation with a systemic-pulmonary artery shunt increased McGoon index by 41% (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The patients with MAPCAs had higher risk to remain palliated than patients without, although their survival was similar. Survival of PA+VSD was influenced by the initial size of true central pulmonary arteries and whether repair was achieved. Although palliative procedures may not improve the final outcome of PA+VSD, palliative surgery may have a role in its treatment.
