Consanguineous marriage and congenital heart defects: a case-control study in the neonatal period.

open access: yes, 2006
The independent effect of consanguinity on the prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs), all and specific types, was investigated in newborns admitted to nine hospitals located in Beirut, Lebanon and members of the National Collaborative Perinatal ...

The Pathogenesis of Atrial and Atrioventricular Septal Defects with Special Emphasis on the Role of the Dorsal Mesenchymal Protrusion

open access: yesDifferentiation; research in biological diversity, 2012
Partitioning of the four-chambered heart requires the proper formation, interaction and fusion of several mesenchymal tissues derived from different precursor populations that together form the atrioventricular mesenchymal complex.

Identification of major congenital malformations based on healthcare databases in France: A proof‐of‐concept study using the epi‐meres nationwide mother–child register

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Besides registries, healthcare databases can provide useful information for assessing the frequency of major congenital malformations (MCMs) and investigating their risk factors, particularly medication exposures. This study aimed to assess the validity of MCMs identification based on French national, comprehensive healthcare databases ...

Transcatheter Atrial Septal Defect Closure in a 'Nonagenarian' with Intractable Heart Failure

open access: yesInternal Medicine, 2020
A 92-year-old man was referred to our hospital with decompensated heart failure. He was treated with diuretics and inotropic agents, but the clinical response was unsatisfactory. Echocardiography incidentally revealed an atrial septal defect (ASD) with a significant left-to-right shunt and pulmonary-to-systemic-blood-flow ratio of 2.36. Because the ASD

Transcatheter Repair of Sinus Venosus Defect Using a 12‐zig Covered Cheatham‐Platinum Stent in Large Superior Vena Cava—Right Atrium Junctions: Early Multicenter Experience

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sinus venosus defect (SVD) is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterised by an abnormal communication between the atria, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Traditional surgical repair carries significant risks, prompting exploration into less invasive transcatheter approaches.

Chapter: imaging of atrial and ventricular septal defects

open access: yes, 2022
Septal defects together account for the majority of the congenital heart defects (CHD); these can occur in isolation or associated with other CHDs. Hemodynamic manifestations are dependent upon the size, location, and the number of the defects, along ...

Cardiac Alpha-Myosin (MYH6) Is the Predominant Sarcomeric Disease Gene for Familial Atrial Septal Defects

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Secundum-type atrial septal defects (ASDII) account for approximately 10% of all congenital heart defects (CHD) and are associated with a familial risk. Mutations in transcription factors represent a genetic source for ASDII.

Percutaneous Deployment of the Sinus‐SuperFlex‐DS Stent for Hybrid Stage I Palliation in Neonates Weighing ≤ 2.5 kg: A Multicenter Study

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hybrid stage I palliation (HS1P) has developed as an alternative to the Norwood stage I palliation for neonates with hypoplastic left heart and related left‐sided obstructive lesions. HS1P is currently used in various clinical settings, such as single ventricle palliation, bridge to decision, bridge to biventricular repair, or ...

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Atrial Septal Defect as Unexpected Cause of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension

open access: yes, 2018
Methamphetamine abuse is an increasingly prevalent cause of pulmonary artery hypertension in the United States. Conversely, an atrial septal defect rarely presents late as pulmonary artery hypertension. We present the case of a 44-year-old
