Anomalous Origin of the Coronary Arteries from the Pulmonary Artery: ALCAPA and ARCAPA
The first descriptions of anomalous coronary arteries (CA) from the pulmonary artery (PA) were performed by Krause in 1865 and by Brooks in 1885. They reported the presence of accessory arteries originating fr...

Open AccessAdults with tetralogy of Fallot show specific features of cerebral small vessel disease: the BACH San Donato study
Life expectancy in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) has increased. As these patients grow older, they experience aging-related diseases more than their healthy peers. To better characterize this fie...

Melody Valve Implantation in Pulmonary Position
Surgical pulmonary valve replacement lacks longevity as conduit dysfunction usually occurs within 10–15 years and exposes patients to multiple risky operations over their life-time. The availability of a percu...

Critical Care Management of the Adult with Tetralogy of Fallot
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease and usually is corrected in infancy with low mortality rate; after repair, pulmonary regurgitation is common, but in gener...

Ventricular Septal Defects
Muscular ventricular septal defects (MVSD) are suitable for percutaneous closure in most cases. Perimembranous ventricular septal defects (PMVSD) closure may be performed percutaneously, although the procedure...
