RESUMO
An aclinical Havanese dog was diagnosed with a membranous restrictive ventricular septal defect. The patient was represented later in their natural history due to the development of syncope. At that time the patient was diagnosed with acquired pulmonary infundibular stenosis. Balloon dilation of the stenosis was performed successfully twice over the patient's lifetime. The patient died suddenly approximately 14 months after the second balloon dilation. A discussion regarding primary infundibular pulmonary stenosis versus causes of acquired infundibular pulmonary stenosis including anomalous muscle bundles (double chamber right ventricle), tetralogy of Fallot, and infundibular stenosis is presented.

We present the case of a 6-year-old patient with double-orifice mitral valve and severe regurgitation, which was successfully repaired. We demonstrate that mitral valve repair may be attempted even in complex anatomy such as the double-orifice mitral valve, where it can offer excellent results.

BACKGROUND: Arterial switch operation became the golden treatment for simple transposition of the great arteries (sTGA). We describe our experience with the arterial switch operation regarding long-term outcome and the need for re-intervention. Nevertheless, supravalvular pulmonary stenosis (SPS) remains a concern in the long run. We assess the evolution of SPS over time and evaluate the effect of technical modifications on SPS during our experience. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study on 133 patients operated with ASO for TGA between October 1991 and November 2009. Last report method was used. We reviewed our pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery database to examine the echocardiographic data and electrocardiograms. A mean follow-up of 9.2 years (+/- 5.83 SD) was reached. RESULTS: One (0.8%) patient deceased postoperatively due to cardiogenic shock. The overall actuarial freedom from reoperation (open and percutaneous) was 88.1%, 78.5% and 76.9% at 1, 5 and 10 years. SPS needed to be treated in 17 patients. Valve regurgitation at final investigation was maximal moderate in 5 patients for the aortic valve, 10 for pulmonary valve and 3 in tricuspid valve. CONCLUSIONS: ASO shows excellent long-term results in sTGA with a very low morbidity and mortality and is therefore the procedure of choice. Re-intervention rate is determined by SPS. Since the extensive mobilization of the pulmonary arteries and the creation of a longer neo-pulmonary root, reduction in SPS was seen with no re-interventions in the second half of the group. To obtain a final comparison with the atrial switch operation, a longer Follow-up is necessary.

Congenital diseases causing obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) are common, but the isolated subpulmonary membrane/ring is extremely rare and can be difficult to diagnose precisely, especially in adults. We report a case of surgically resected isolated subpulmonic fibrous ring in a lady with mirror-image dextrocardia and abdominal situs solitus that was misdiagnosed by echocardiography as a subaortic membrane.

LEOPARD syndrome (LS) is a rare hereditary disorder, characterised mainly by skin, facial and cardiac abnormalities. We report on the case of a six-year-old Djiboutian with typical features of LS. Multiple cardiovascular problems are described, including pulmonary infundibular, valvular and supra-valvular stenosis. A favourable course was observed after successful cardiac surgery. This is the first reported case of LS from the horn of Africa.

Three eight-week-old Golden Retriever puppy littermates were evaluated because of left basilar systolic murmurs and were diagnosed with primary infundibular stenosis. Pedigree analysis in this line was also performed to identify a mode of inheritance. All dogs were asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis; two of the three had congenital lesions in addition to primary infundibular stenosis. Two additional affected dogs were identified in the line, and pedigree analysis suggested an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Another, unrelated golden retriever was also identified with isolated infundibular stenosis in the record database. Primary infundibular stenosis should be considered in the differential diagnoses for golden retriever dogs with a left basilar systolic murmur, and is often associated with complex congenital cardiac disease. Primary infundibular stenosis may worsen in severity with time, and in this line of dogs an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance is likely.

Transthoracic echocardiography is the first-line modality for cardiovascular imaging in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). The windows of access that are possible with transthoracic echocardiography are, however, rarely adequate for all regions of interest. The choice of further imaging depends on the clinical questions that remain to be addressed. The strengths of MRI include comprehensive access and coverage, providing imaging of all parts of the right ventricle, the pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins and aorta. Cine images and velocity maps are acquired in specifically aligned planes, with stacks of cines or dynamic contrast angiography providing more comprehensive coverage. Tissues can be characterised if necessary, and MRI provides relatively accurate measurements of biventricular function and volume flow. These parameters are important in the assessment and follow-up of adults after repairs for tetralogy of Fallot or transposition of the great arteries and after Fontan operations. The superior spatial resolution and rapid acquisition of CT are invaluable in selected situations, including the visualisation of anomalous coronary or aortopulmonary collateral arteries, the assessment of luminal patency after stenting and imaging in patients with pacemakers. Ionising radiation is, however, a concern in younger patients who may need repeated investigation. Adults with relatively complex conditions should ideally be imaged in a specialist ACHD centre, where dedicated echocardiographic and cardiovascular MRI services are a necessary facility. General radiologists should be aware of the nature and pathophysiology of congenital heart disease, and should be alert for previously undiagnosed cases presenting in adulthood, including cases of atrial septal defect, aortic coarctation, patent ductus arteriosus, double-chambered right ventricle and congenitally corrected transposition.

Pseudoaneurysm of the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) is a rare complication in pediatric cardiac surgery. We report a patient who developed a right ventricular pseudoaneurysm 8 months after RVOT enlargement using a pericardial patch for infundibular pulmonary stenosis. Our patient was born with severe pulmonary valvular stenosis and treated with percutaneous balloon valvotomy in the neonatal period. Six months later, she developed infundibular pulmonary stenosis, which required surgical resection of right ventricle infundibular trabeculations and bovine pericardial patch enlargement. The postoperative period was normal. She was readmitted to hospital 5 months later complaining of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. Echocardiography showed a huge aneurysmal dilatation of the outflow patch in connection with the right ventricular cavity. The patient underwent resection of the pseudoaneurysm and former patch, followed by interposition of a bovine jugular vein conduit between the RVOT and pulmonary bifurcation. The early postoperative period was uncomplicated. On echocardiography, no significant residual gradient was measured through the conduit and there was no insufficiency of the valve. RVOT reconstruction with patch enlargement, homograft or conduit implantation can be the origin of pseudoaneurysms. Although their incidence is rare, they are often asymptomatic before becoming quite large and causing compression symptoms as in our patient with respiratory complaints due to airway compression. It is important to follow up these patients closely, especially in the first year after surgery since most aneurysms develop within 6 months of surgery.

We present a case of a 69 year-old woman complaining of palpitations and worsening heart failure, after the 2nd cycle of fludarabine due to Hodgkin's lymphoma. Echocardiography revealed abnormalities typical for corrected transposition of the great arteries (CTGA), which were confirmed in multislice computed tomography (MSCT), as well as subvalvular pulmonary stenosis. There is the case of one of the oldest patients with CTGA and subvalvular pulmonary stenosis. MSCT seems to be a useful and complementary method in diagnosis such diseases.
