Ventricular Topology in Congenital Heart Defects Associated with Heterotaxy: Can We Find Patterns Reflecting the Syndrome-Specific Tendency for Visceral Symmetry? [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Heterotaxy syndrome is characterized by a tendency for bilaterally symmetric arrangement (isomerism) of inner organs. It is frequently associated with complex congenital heart defects (CHDs).

Caval translocation as a surgical strategy for patients with congenital heart disease and bilateral superior vena cavaCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]

JTCVS Techniques
Objective: The presence of bilateral superior vena cava (SVC) may complicate biventricular or single-ventricle pathway surgery. Translocation of an SVC to create a neoinnominate vein may simplify subsequent procedures. Methods: Fourteen patients received
