Abstract OBJECTIVES Heart transplantation for adult congenital heart disease is complicated and associated with challenging pretransplant support, long waiting high early post-transplant mortality. We explored if surgical medical advances allocation system changes have affected outcomes. METHODS From United Network Organ Sharing database, adults listed were queried. To explore practice outcome trends, patients divided into 4 eras (eras 1–3: nearly 3 equal periods from 1992 to 2018, era 4:...

Background Neurocognitive impairment is a common complication of congenital heart disease (CHD) as well acquired cardiovascular disease. Data are limited on neurocognitive function in adults with CHD (ACHD). Methods and Results A total 1020 individuals mild‐to‐moderate ACHD 497 987 without from the volunteer‐based UK Biobank study underwent tests for fluid intelligence, reaction time, numeric memory, symbol‐digit substitution, trail making at enrollment follow‐up. Performance scores were...

Abstract Complex congenital heart disease (CHD) in each of dichorionic diamniotic (DiDi) twin pairs is extremely rare and has not been well characterized. Four DiDi were included this multi-institutional case series. The cardiac abnormalities noted tetralogy Fallot (ToF) with pulmonary atresia collaterals (n = 1), ToF absent valve 2), discontinuous right artery (RPA) tricuspid (TA) normally related great arteries stenosis or 2) coarctation aorta (CoA) bicuspid aortic (BAV) borderline...

Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) is increasingly used to treat complications related dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracts (RVOT). Candidacy limited by RVOT diameter and coronary artery anatomy. We present the case of a branch (BPA) that was too large accommodate single TPVR underwent placement 2 TPVR.
