Harlequin syndrome, also known as differential hypoxia (DH) or North-South syndrome, is a serious complication of femoro-femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). Moreover, Harlequin syndrome is caused by competing flows between the retrograde oxygenated ECMO output and the anterograde ejection of poorly oxygenated blood from the native heart. In the setting of impaired pulmonary gas exchange, the addition of an Impella device (ECPELLA configuration), although beneficial for ventricular unloading and hemodynamic support, may further exacerbate this competition and precipitate DH.

Fetal 4D Flow CMR for Advanced Diagnostics of Congenital Heart Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging

September 2025

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital Bonn, Venusberg-Campus 1, 53127, Bonn, Germany.

Aims: Fetal circulation undergoes complex changes in congenital heart disease (CHD) that are challenging to assess with fetal echocardiography. This study aimed to assess clinical feasibility and diagnostic value of 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in fetal CHD.

Methods And Results: Pregnant women in advanced third trimester pregnancy with fetal CHD were prospectively recruited for fetal CMR between 08/2021 and 11/2024.

Introduction: The aim of this article is to compare the long-term efficacy of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) versus Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) in reducing mortality among adult patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B aortic dissection (uSTBAD).

Methods: An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Central and Google Scholar was conducted for studies comparing TEVAR with OMT for mortality in adult patients with uSTBAD. Relevant outcomes, including mortality, aortic rupture, re-intervention, retrograde type A dissection, myocardial infarction and stroke were analyzed and presented as risk ratios (RRs) along with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).

BackgroundThe optimal cerebral protection strategy during complex aortic surgery remains controversial, and various brain monitoring modalities are used to provide different information to improve cerebral protection. This study aims to compare the effect of the change in cerebral oxygen saturation during hypothermic circulatory arrest on the early postoperative neurological outcome in antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) versus retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) during circulatory arrest in adult aortic surgery using cerebral oximetry.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional analytic study that enrolled a total of 84 patients undergoing total circulatory arrest during adult aortic surgery divided into two groups.

Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) combined with a right-sided aortic arch (RAA) and an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly causing significant compressive dysphagia. Treatment options, including open surgery, thoracic endovascular aortic repair and hybrid approaches, are debated due to anatomical complexities. We report a 48-year-old female with dysphagia from symptomatic KD, RAA and ALSA, clearly delineated by preoperative computed tomography angiography.
