Article Abstract
A 70-year-old man with acute myocardial infarction underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the diagonal branch. Eight days after PCI, the patient presented worsening heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography( TTE) and enhanced computed tomography( CT) revealed ventricular septal rupture( VSR) and left ventricular aneurysm( LVA). After establishing cardiopulmonary bypass, the LVA was longitudinally excised along the left anterior descending artery( LAD). A septal anterior ventricular exclusion( SAVE) procedure was performed using a bovine pericardial patch to exclude the LVA and VSR. The VSR was directly closed with pledgeted sutures. Additionally, coronary artery bypass grafting was performed to the LAD using the left internal thoracic artery. The patient was discharged without any complications.

: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of a modified réparation à l'étage ventriculaire (REV) and the Rastelli repair for ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction without ventriculoarterial concordance. : The study included 100 consecutive patients who underwent a modified REV ( = 50) or Rastelli repair ( = 50) for transposition of the great arteries, double outlet right ventricle, or double outlet left ventricle with VSD and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction. The mean ages of the patients who underwent the modified REV and Rastelli repair were 2.

Pericardial effusion (PCE) represents a significant postoperative complication following congenital heart surgery (CHS), contributing to more complex postoperative care and heightened morbidity. In this study, we aim to elucidate the risk factors contributing to PCE development post-CHS through analysis of data from a nationwide, multi-institutional database. Review of the Pediatric Health Information System Database from January 1, 2004, to December 30, 2023.

Background: Proper risk stratification tools for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) undergoing septal myectomy are lacking. Our objective was to assess the predictive value of preoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) on perioperative outcomes and late survival in patients with oHCM undergoing transaortic septal myectomy.
Methods: Between 2008 and 2021, 834 patients with preoperative NT-proBNP measurements underwent septal myectomy.
Bicuspid pulmonary and bicuspid aortic valve in association with Gasul phenomenon (triple combination): a case report and literature review.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a significant health concern affecting approximately 1% of live births. Among these anomalies, bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most prevalent, while bicuspid pulmonary valve (BPV) remains exceptionally rare. This case report presents a unique instance of a 10-year-old girl diagnosed with the combination of BAV and BPV alongside a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and infundibular stenosis, referred to as the Gasul phenomenon.

Background: Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is an established therapy for symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) in patients unresponsive to medical treatment. However, comprehensive assessment of ASA outcomes remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of institutional experience and patient characteristics on achieving complete clinical and haemodynamic response (CCHR), a novel composite outcome integrating long-term symptomatic, haemodynamic, safety, and major clinical endpoints, including survival and resuscitation.
