Objective: The surgical results for the repair of interrupted aortic arch (IAA) have evolved in
recent years. We report our results for staged repair of this complex congenital malformation. …

BACKGROUND: The outcome of children with multilevel left heart obstructions with mitral
valve involvement (Shone's anomaly) is generally poor. This study reviews our results and …

BACKGROUND: Allograft conduits (AC) are used for reconstruction of the right ventricular
outflow tract (RVOT) in children with RVOT hypoplasia or atresia and for pulmonary valve …

Background. Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in children
decreases body water, removes inflammatory mediators, improves hemodynamics, and …

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary homografts (PH) have been the preferred valved conduits for
right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction in the US since the mid-1980s. Although …

Objectives: Truncus arteriosus (TA) continues to be associated with significant morbidity and
mortality, but there have been clinically significant improvements with early repair. Methods: …

Objective: The scimitar syndrome is a congenital anomaly that consists in part of total or
partial anomalous venous drainage of the right lung to the inferior vena cava. Surgical …

OBJECTIVE: Anomalies of the aortic arch (vascular rings) are uncommon anomalies in which
preferred strategies for diagnosis and treatment may vary among institutions. In this study, …

OBJECTIVE: Transannular patching of the right ventricular outflow tract results in pulmonary
insufficiency. Biologic monocusp valves prevent early pulmonary insufficiency but usually …

Background. Transannular patching of right ventricular outflow tract obstructive (RVOTO)
defects results in pulmonary insufficiency (PI). Biologic monocusp valves (MO) can prevent …
