Xenopus as a Model Organism for Birth Defects – Congenital Heart Disease and Heterotaxy

Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016
Congenital heart disease is the leading cause of birth defects, affecting 9 out of 1000 newborns each year. A particularly severe form of congenital heart disease is heterotaxy, a disorder of left-right development. Despite aggressive surgical management,

Transcatheter Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Elderly Patients: Initial and One-Year Follow-Up Results—Do We Have the Proper Device?

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2020
Objectives. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in elderly patients is an uncommon anomaly, and the duct itself is often calcified and fragile; therefore, transcatheter closure is more difficult.

Congenital Heart Defects [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2000
More children die from congenital heart disease (CHD) each year than are diagnosed with cancer. Although CHD is the most common human birth defect, the etiology of the vast majority of CHDs remains unknown. The difficulty in elucidating the molecular and genetic bases for CHD reflects the complex nature of this and other birth defects.
