  • Coarctation of the Aorta Interrupted Aortic Arch
    T HE P EDIATRIC C ARDIAC S URGERY I NQUEST R EPORT Coarctation of the aorta In the normal heart, blood flows to the body through the aorta, which connects to the left ven- tricle and arches over the top of the heart.In coarc- tation of the aorta,the aorta is pinched (in medical terms, coarcted) at a point somewhere along its length. This pinching restricts blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. Often, the baby also has other heart defects, such as a narrowing of the aortic arch (in medical terms,transverse aortic arch hypoplasia). Usually no symptoms are apparent at birth, but can develop within a week of birth with the closure of the ductus arteriosus.

The the constriction. broken white arrow indicates diminished blood flow through the aorta. Timing of surgery depends on the degree of coarctation. Surgery may be delayed with mild coarctation (which sometimes is not detected until adoles- cence). However, if a baby develops congestive heart failure or high blood pressure, early surgery is usually required. A baby with severe coarctation should have early surgery to prevent long-term high blood pres- sure. The coarctation can be repaired in a number of ways without opening the heart.The surgeon can remove the narrowed part of the aorta and sew the ends together, thereby creating an anastomosis.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic heart defect and occurs in 5-10% of all children with congenital heart disease. The classic description of TOF includes four cardiac abnormalities: overriding aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), large perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD), and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO). About 20% of patients with TOF have PA at the infundibular or valvar level, which results in severe right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. PA means that the pulmonary valve is closed and not developed. When PA occurs, blood can not flow through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Instead, the child is dependent on a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) or multiple systemic collateral vessels (MAPCAs) to deliver blood to the lungs for oxygenation. These MAPCAs usually arise from the de- scending aorta and subclavian arteries. Commonly, the pulmonary arteries are abnormal, with hypoplastic (small and underdeveloped) central and branch pulmonary arteries and/ or non-confluent central pulmonary arteries.

  • Imperforate Anus Associated with Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return in Scimitar Syndrome
    Aklilu et al. BMC Pediatrics (2019) 19:296 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12887-019-1643-z CASEREPORT Open Access Imperforate anus associated with anomalous pulmonary venous return in scimitar syndrome. Case report from a tertiary hospital in Ethiopia Tamirat Moges Aklilu1* , Messele Chanie Adhana2 and Azmeraw Gissila Aboye3 Abstract Background: Scimitar syndrome is a rare form of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage associated with pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure that may lead to death in the newborn infant. Although it is described with anomalies of the lung, heart and their vascular structure, extremely rare association with imperforate anus had been reported. The third case of Scimitar syndrome and imperforate anus will be reported in this case report. Case presentation: A 3 days old male neonate with imperforate anus presented with abdominal distention. Loop colostomy was done to relieve abdominal distension. The chest x-ray revealed a curved shadow on the right mid lung zone extending to the diaphragm abutting and indenting the inferior vena cava (scimitar sign). Abdominal ultrasound, transthoracic echocardiography and computerized tomographic angiography confirmed the presence of Scimitar vein and associated dextro-position of the heart, hypoplastic right lung, hypoplastic right pulmonary artery, secundum atrial septal defect with bidirectional shunt, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary hypertension, left superior vena cava, and systemic collateral arteries feeding the lower lobe of the right lung. The rare association of scimitar syndrome with imperforate anus is discussed. Conclusion: Scimitar syndrome associated with imperforate anus with and without VACTERL association has been reported previously only in four cases. The knowledge of association between imperforate anus and Scimitar syndrome helps for early detection and management of cases.

  • Tetralogy of Fallot
    Department Of Health and Mental Hygiene Prevention and Health Promotion Administration Office for Genetics and People with Special Health Care Needs Tetralogy of Fallot What is Tetralogy of Fallot? Heart defect which is present at birth (congenital) Most common type of critical congenital heart defect Consists of four defects of the heart and the major blood vessels: 1. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) - a hole between the right and left ventricles (bottom chambers) of the heart 2. Narrowing of the pulmonary outflow tract - the valve and artery that connects the heart with the lungs 3. Overriding Aorta - aorta usually takes oxygen rich blood to the body from the left ventricle to the body. An overriding aorta is shifted and takes blood from the right and left ventricles, reducing the amount of oxygen in the blood that goes to the body 4. Right Ventricular Hypertrophy - thickened wall of the right ventricle What is the cause of Tetralogy of Fallot? There is no known cause, but there are certain risk factors which will increase the chance of this condition occurring: 1. Drinking alcohol regularly during pregnancy 2. Maternal diabetes 3. Mother’s age (over 40) 4. Poor nutrition during pregnancy 5. Rubella or other viral illnesses during pregnancy Infants born with Tetralogy of Fallot are more likely to have chromosomal (genetic) disorders such as Down Syndrome or DiGeorge Syndrome Signs and Symptoms Bluish skin color, especially around lips and fingernails Clubbing of fingers (broadening and blunting of tips) Poor feeding and poor growth Fainting episodes How is Tetralogy of Fallot treated? Medicines are often used to improve blood flow and circulation.
