3D printing is a transformative technology in congenital heart disease [PDF]
Survival in congenital heart disease has steadily improved since 1938, when Dr. Robert Gross successfully ligated for the first time a patent ductus arteriosus in a 7-year-old child.

Palliation of a Heterotaxy Single Ventricle Neonate with Pulmonary Atresia and Obstructed TAPVR
Patients born with obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous return have a high risk of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period, which only increases when combined with single ventricle physiology and non-cardiac congenital anomalies such as ...

Left-Sided Heart Defects and Laterality Disturbance in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a complex congenital heart disease characterized by hypoplasia of left-sided heart structures. The developmental basis for restriction of defects to the left side of the heart in HLHS remains unexplained.

Histopathological assessment of laterality defects in zebrafish development
Laterality defects during embryonic development underlie the aetiology of various clinical symptoms of neuropathological and cardiovascular disorders; however, experimental approaches to understand the underlying mechanisms are limited due to the complex

Novel use of covered stents to treat profound cyanosis in a hepatic vein exclusion Fontan
Fontan completion in patients with complex cardiac anatomy, and specifically heterotaxy syndrome, can present unique physiologic considerations. For example, existing venous connections may be “unmasked” after a cavopulmonary anastomosis operation.
