What is the most common type of congenital heart disease, and which subtype is the most prevalent?

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart disease.
Within VSD, the membranous subtype, located just below the aortic valve, is the most common, accounting for about 70% of cases.

Perfectly

Why are Outlet subtype VSDs significant, and what complication can they lead to?

Outlet subtype VSDs, located in the infundibulum, are significant because they must be repaired to prevent complications. One such complication is the prolapse of the right coronary cusp into the defect.

Ostium primum (Optimus PRime is Large)

Defect in the SVC-right atrial junction Or less commonly the IVC - Right Atrial Junction

Sinus Venosus

ASD Subtype

Sinus VEnosus

ASD Subtype associated with PAPVR

SInus Venosus

Defect (partial or complete) in the Coronary Sinus

Unroofed Coronary Sinus

Least common ASD Subtype

Unroofed Coronary Sinus

Allows a left-to- right shunt to occur

Unroofed Coronary Sinus

Associated with a persistent left SVC

Unroofed Coronary Sinus

one (or more) of the four pulmonary veins draining into the right atrium.

PAPVR

PAPVR is associated with these types of ASDs

Secondum and sinus venosus

When I say Right Sided PAPVR,

you say Sinus Venosus ASD

When I say Right Sided PAPVR + Pulmonary Hypoplasia

Scimitar Syndrome

Identify

Scimitar Syndrome

a cyanotic heart disease characterized by all of the pulmonary venous system draining to the right side of the heart

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Retrun - essentially a total eclipse of the heart. ;P

What are the essential anatomical features for survival in TAPVR?

A large Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) or, less commonly, an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is essential for survival in TAPVR. These openings allow for some oxygenated blood to mix and circulate in the systemic circulation.

What the three types of TAPVR?

1. Supracardiac 2. Cardiac 3. Infracardiac

Most commont type of TAPVR? Describe

Supracardiac. Veins drain above the heart producing a snowman sign.

Second most common TAPVR?

Cardiac

Type of TAPVR causing obstruction and pulmonary edema appearance in newborns.

Infracardiac.

The most common cause of cyanosis during the first 24 hours?

Transposition of the Great Arteries

Seen most commonly in infants of diabetic mothrs.

TGA

Describr the TGA

The basic idea is that the aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk from the left ventricle {ventricularterial discordance).

What do you have to find to determine if its right or left ventricle

Find the Moderator band (That defines the RV)

What does TGA need in order to survive?

ASD VSD (Most common) PDA

What are the two (2) TGA flavors?

D type and L type.

What type of TOGA is lucky enough to be compatible with life?

L-Transposition (LUCKY)

What is the classic x ray appearance of d-TGA

Egg on a string

What procedure is performed to fix the d-TGA

Intra-atrial baffle (Mustard or Senning procedure)

This occurs from a “double discordance” where the atrium hooks up with the wrong ventricle and the ventricle hooks up with the wrong vessel.

l-TGA

Describe the d-TGA

In D-Transposition, the ductus may be the only connection between the two systems, which would othenwise be separate (and not compatible with life)

What can be the only connection between the two systems in d-TGA

PDA

Describe the l-TGA

In L-Transposition of the great vessels - there is an inversion of the ventricles, leading to a “congenital correction. ” No PDA is needed.

Identify and described

Corrected d-TGA

What is the procedure of d-TGA correction

"LeCompte Maneuver" Jatene Arterial Switch

What is the most common cyanotic hear disease?

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)

Describe the 4 major findings of TOF

(1) VSD, (2) RVOT Obstruction - often from valvular obstruction, (3) Overriding Aorta, (4) RV hypertrophy (develops after birth).

The degree of seerity in symtpoms in TOF depends on?

How bad the RVOT obstruction is.

Whats is the pentalogy of Fallot?

(1) VSD, (2) RVOT Obstruction - often from valvular obstruction, (3) Overriding Aorta, (4) RV hypertrophy (develops after birth). (5) ASD

What is the shunt procedure for TOF?

Blalock-Taussig shunt

What is the most common complication following TOF repair?

Pulmonary regurgitation.

Describe Truncus Arteriosus

Cyanotic anomaly - a single trunk supplying both the pulmonary and systemic circulation, not a separate aorta and pulmonary trunk.

What CHD is associated with DiGeorge Syndrome (CATCH 22 gene ;P)

Truncus arteriosus.

What is the most common associated defect in CoA?

Bicuspid Aortic Valve (80%)

CoA is associated with what condition?

Turners Syndrome (15-20%)

What CHD have more berry aneurysms?

CoA

Rib notching invovles what rib level?

4th-8th ribs

Differentiate the Infantile vs Adult CoA

Infantile: 1. Presents with heart failure within the first week of life. 2. Pre-Ductal (Before the left Subclavian A.) 3. Aortic Arch = Hypoplastic Adult: 1. Leg Claudication 2. BP differences between arms and legs. 3. Post-Ductal (Distal to left Subclavian A.) 4. Aortic Arch = Normal Diameter 5. Collateral Formation is More Likely

What is hypoplastic left heart?

1. Left ventricle and aorta are hypoplastic. 2. They present with PULMONARY EDEMA. 3. Must have an ASD or large PFO. They also typically have a large PDA to put blood in their arch. 4. Strongly associated with aortic coarctation and endocardial fibroelastosis.

What is this? Descibe

Cor Triatriatum Sinsitrum Abnormal pulmonary vein draining into the left atrium with an unnecessary fibromuscular membrane that causes a subdivision of the left atrium. creating the appearance of TRI-TRIUM heart.

What CHD can cause an unexplained hypertension in pediatritcs?

Cor Triatriatum

Why does Cor triatriatum sinistrum cause pulmonary edema?

It acts like mitral stenosis.

What's the prognosis of CTS?

bad (fatal within 2 years)
