Conotruncal heart malformations
MONDO:0016581Conotruncal heart malformations are a group of congenital cardiac outflow tract anomalies that include such defects as tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, double-outlet right ventricle (DORV), double-outlet left ventricle, truncus arteriosus and transposition of the great arteries (TGA), among others. This group of defects is frequently found in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. A deletion of chromosome 22q11.2 has equally been associated in a subset of patients with various types of isolated non-syndromic conotruncal heart malformations (with the exception of DORV and TGA where this is very uncommon).
Also known as: Taussig-Bing syndrome or defect, conotruncal heart malformations, conotruncal heart malformations, variable, CTHM, Double-outlet right ventricle, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, conotruncal cardiac defects, interrupted aortic Arch

New heart valve passes safety check in 57 patients
Disease control CompletedThis study looked at the SAPIEN XT heart valve, which is placed through a thin tube (catheter) to fix a failed valve in the heart's right ventricle. Researchers wanted to confirm it is safe and works well. They enrolled 57 people with a narrowed or leaky heart valve conduit. The …

Vitamin e shot may shield young hearts during complex surgery
Disease control CompletedThis study tested whether giving vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) during heart surgery could reduce heart muscle damage in children with Tetralogy of Fallot, a birth defect. 58 children aged 1-10 years received either vitamin E or a placebo at the start of surgery. The main goal was …

Cartoon therapy cuts pain in young heart patients
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested if combining cartoon-watching with nurse interaction could ease pain in children after heart surgery. 70 kids aged 3-7 took part; half got standard pain care, and the other half also watched cartoons with a nurse. The goal was to see if this fun, non-drug approa…

New MRI technique could sharpen heart monitoring for common birth defect
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested whether a newer type of MRI called 4D flow can more accurately measure leakage in the pulmonary valve and heart chamber size in people born with tetralogy of Fallot who had corrective surgery. Researchers compared 4D flow MRI with standard 2D MRI in 21 patients …

MRI scans may reveal best time for heart valve surgery
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 11 people with a repaired heart condition called tetralogy of Fallot who needed a new pulmonary valve. Researchers used MRI scans to measure heart muscle stiffness (fibrosis) and how well the heart pumped during rest and exercise. The goal was to see if these…
