In patients with congenital heart disease the right ventricle (RV) may support the pulmonary
(subpulmonary RV) or the systemic circulation (systemic RV). During the last 50 years …

Ebstein's anomaly, first described in 1866 by Dr William Ebstein, accounts for 0.3–0.5% of
congenital heart defects and represents 40% of congenital tricuspid valve abnormalities …

OBJECTIVE: Repair of Ebstein anomaly and impaired right ventricular function pose
challenges for the cardiac surgeon. The bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt may improve …

BACKGROUND: Favorable outcomes in Ebstein's anomaly are predicated on tricuspid valve
competence and right ventricular function. Successful valve repair should be aggressively …

The new concepts of cardiac anatomy and physiology, based on the observations made by
Francisco Torrent-Guasp's discovery of the helical ventricular myocardial band, can be …

Background In patients with hypoplastic subpulmonary ventricles, the one and one-half
ventricle (1.5 V) repair is an alternative to the Fontan procedure. However, in 1.5 V-treated …

Abstract Background The Fontan procedure is the palliative surgical treatment for different
congenital heart diseases (CHD) with a univentricular heart, but it has been associated with …

OBJECTIVE: Patients with complex congenital heart disease, characterized by right ventricle
hypoplasia, had a palliative surgical option with one and a half ventricular repair …

The efficacy and safety of device closure of atrial defects in children with complex congenital
heart disease and a hypoplastic right ventricle have not been detailed. The objective of this …
