Congenital Muscular Ventricular Septal Aneurysm: Report of Four Cases and Review of the Literature
We describe a rare association between congenital muscular ventricular septal aneurysm (MuVSA) and right heart lesions, with emphasis on echocardiographic diagnosis, clinical presentation, and outcome. Our fou...

Open AccessBaseline correction of phase-contrast images in congenital cardiovascular magnetic resonance
One potential source of error in phase contrast (PC) congenital CMR flow measurements is caused by phase offsets due to local non-compensated eddy currents. Phantom correction of these phase offset errors has ...

Celiac Artery Flow Pattern in Infants with Single Right Ventricle Following the Norwood Procedure with a Modified Blalock-Taussig or Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery Shunt
A potential advantage of the right ventricle to pulmonary artery versus modified Blalock–Taussig shunt in patients undergoing the Norwood procedure is limitation of diastolic runoff from the systemic to pulmon...

Repeatability of cardiac-MRI-measured right ventricular size and function in congenital heart disease
The measurement error for right ventricular (RV) size and function assessed by cardiac MRI (CMRI) in congenital heart disease has not been fully characterized. As CMRI parameters are being increasingly utilize...
