Left-sided juxtaposition of the right atrial appendage (LJRAA) was seen in 10 patients in a series of 361 consecutive Mustard procedures for transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Dextrocardia complicated LJRAA in four cases. Right atrial capacity and free atrial wall size were smaller than
We report a case of an elderly Caucasian male with past medical history of dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis, polymyalgia rheumatica, history of cryptogenic stroke, and severe mitral regurgitation with mitral valve prolapse, who presented with acute heart failure symptoms, including severe
BACKGROUND
Fetal heart block in the second and third trimesters may be caused by transplacental passage of auto-antibodies or cardiac defects. Little is known about the etiology of first-trimester fetal heart block.
METHODS
Fetal heart block was diagnosed in four patients (negative antibody
Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of interrupted of the inferior vena cava with azygous continuation and the prognosis. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 21 fetuses diagnosed with interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation among 28 567 pregnant women who underwent
Splanchnetopia accompanied with atrial septal defect is a rare congenital malformation clinically. Recent studies show that the patients are susceptible to lung disease. We present a case of a 62-year-old man who presented to our hospital with cough, palpitation and short of breath after activity.
We present a case of the rare coincidence of three mechanisms leading to development of congenital heart disease in intrauterine life: intrinsic defect of the development of the cardiac loop (dextrocardia), failure of normal expansion of the subpulmonary infundibulum (Fallot syndrome) and
A 53-year-old man, who was known to have situs inversus totalis all of his life, had acute myocardial infarction complicated by partial rupture of the posterior papillary muscle causing mitral regurgitation and pulmonary edema. The patient underwent mitral valve replacement (Omnicarbon 27 mm) with
In two of 81 patients in whom a Blalock-Taussig shunt was created due to pulmonary atresia, the anastomosis was inadvertently placed on the pulmonary vein. The first case was a newborn with mirror-image dextrocardia, pulmonary valve atresia and a high ventricular septal defect. Subsequent to a
