Congenital heart defects have been occasionally reported in cattle and ventricular septal defect represents the most frequently encountered anomaly. The double-outlet right ventricle is a rare congenital ventriculoarterial malformation reported only in certain cattle breeds. We describe this rare and complex congenital cardiac malformation observed in a 10-day-old male Chianina calf. Clinical examination showed tachycardia, tachypnea, jugular pulses, cyanotic mucous membranes and a right apical systolic murmur. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe dilation of the right-sided cardiac chambers with a markedly hypoplastic left ventricle. Both aorta and pulmonary artery leaving the right ventricle in parallel alignment with the tricuspid valve were suggestive of a dual-outlet right ventricle. Interventricular and interatrial septal defects were also visualized. Post-mortem examination confirmed the echocardiographic findings. To the authors’ knowledge, a similar complex congenital cardiac malformation has not been reported in calves of the Chianina breed to date.

AbstractWe present the case of an infant with three distinct outflow tracts from the right ventricle. Three outlets from the heart have been previously named the “Tritruncal Heart”. We review the two previously reported cases of tritruncal hearts and describe the anatomy, diagnosis, surgical management, and outcome of our case. Embryologic implications are also discussed.

We report a male fetus with a 6.8 Mb deletion on chromosome 7p22.1p22.3 at 16 weeks of gestation. The fetus presented a heart-hand syndrome with great artery malposition, bilateral radial ray deficiency, a single pelvic kidney, and growth retardation. This deletion involves a minimal deleted region for cardiac malformation and the RAC1 gene, previously described in limb anomalies in mice. This fetus is the third human case with limb defects and RAC1 deletion.

Over one half of the deaths from all congenital malformations were due to congenital cardiovascular disease. There were 496 individuals who died of congenital cardiovascular disease in Oregon during 1957 thru 1961, and three fourths of the deaths occurred in infants under 1 year of age. More males were affected by congenital cardiovascular disease than females, but, when congenital cardiovascular disease was present, the length of survival, as measured by life span, did not differ by sex. One out of every four infants dying of congenital cardiovascular disease was of low birth weight; of these, 60% were over 37 weeks' gestation. However, there was no difference in the life span of low birth weight and normal birth weight infants who died with congenital cardiovascular disease. This would imply that the significant factor of death in these infants was the cardiac malformation rather than the low birth weight. One out of every three infants who died with congenital cardiovascular disease had malformations of other systems. Fewer deaths than expected were identified among first born. Fetal deaths were noted more frequently in the population of mothers of children with congenital heart disease than in the overall population. The parental age in this group was significantly higher than in the general population and death rates of infants with congenital cardiovascular disease increased with advancing parental age. Thirty-two percent of the infants who died with congenital cardiovascular disease had single lesions. Early diagnosis and treatment is to be stressed if mortality is to be reduced.

An infant with a cyanotic congenital cardiac malformation and brain abscess is described. The rarity of this combination before age 2 years and the need for intensive treatment once it is recognized are stressed.

Persistent truncus arteriosus is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. It is characterized by a single great artery arising from the heart which supplies the aorta, the origin of coronary arteries and pulmonary arteries. Without surgery, prognosis is poor and 90% of these patients die before one year of age. We report a rare case of an asymptomatic 35-year-old woman with uncorrected persistent truncus arteriosus and hypoplastic right and left pulmonary arteries. Hypoplastic branch pulmonary arteries prevented the development of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension.

AbstractPersistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn is a source of considerable mortality and morbidity. Anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery, an uncommon congenital cardiac malformation, is a rare cause of persistent pulmonary hypertension. Here, we report the case of a patient with an anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery from the innominate artery who presented with persistent pulmonary hypertension refractory to treatment.
