Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) can lead to congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, particularly in patients with large shunts. However, no surgical treatment for feline VSD has been reported. Here, we elucidated the first surgical cor...

Long-term transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) follow-up guidelines after muscular ventricular septal defect (mVSD) device closure are vague. The primary goal of this study was to perform a literature search to characterize the type and timing of compl...

We describe a case series of five patients who were referred to our cardiac rehabilitation department after mitral or aortic valve replacement, and whose transthoracic echocardiographic studies showed postoperative muscular septal defects.

It is now established that the entity often described as an “aortopulmonary septal complex” is better considered as an “outflow tract septal complex”. This change is crucial for appropriate understanding of not only malformati...

A 3-year-old Chihuahua was presented because of exercise intolerance, respiratory distress, and syncopal episodes. At the age of 10 weeks, the dog was diagnosed with a congenital small left-to-right shunting ventricular septal defect and a mild right...

Bacterial endocarditis represents one of the most frequently acquired cardiac diseases in adult cattle. Congenital heart diseases as a ventricular septal defect can facilitate bacterial endocarditis as a consequence of turbulent blood flow through th...

Background: Anomalies of the mitral apparatus have been shown to contribute to left ventricular outflow obstruction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We report our 5-year single-center experience with a shallow myectomy procedure as...

Transforming growth factor beta3 (TGFB3) gene mutations in patients of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD1) and Loeys-Dietz syndrome-5 (LDS5)/Rienhoff syndrome are associated with cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia, cardi...

We report a case of a premature neonate girl with scalp and skull defects and brachydactyly of the feet consistent with an Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS). The patient had central nervous system abnormalities, such as periventricular calcifications, hypo...
