Objectives: A significantly dilated coronary sinus causing left ventricular inflow obstruction presents a challenging dilemma during surgical repair of associated anomalies. We report a 5-month-old male infant was referred to a national heart centre in Muscat, Oman, in 2023 with a persistent left superior caval vein, d …
Appearance of unexpected masses in the chambers of the heart during cardiac surgery can be intriguing. We report the case of a mass in the left ventricle that appeared at the time of separation from cardiopulmonary bypass in a child after a complex intracardiac repair. The child presented for surgery to a tertiary care …
Objectives: The size of the pulmonary valve annulus often determines the feasibility of pulmonary valve preservation at the time of intracardiac repair of Tetralogy of Fallot. Currently, there is limited available data regarding the growth pattern and the determining factors that contribute towards pulmonary valve annu …
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD0 in adult patients under the age of 49 years, including adolescents with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest that presented to the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was con …
This review provides an update on the morphology of the sinus venosus defect. It was earlier believed that a 'common wall' separated the right pulmonary veins from the superior caval vein. In the sinus venosus defects, this wall was absent. Current evidence shows that the superior rim of the oval fossa, rather than for …
Objectives: This study primarily aimed to compare the mechanical ventilation durations between pulmonary valve-sparing and transannular patch repair techniques in the surgical correction of Tetralogy of Fallot. Secondary objectives included comparison of demographic characteristics, cardiopulmonary bypass parameters, p …
