Question: Does atrial septal defect (ASD) physiology affect postrepair mitral valve growth in patients with coarctation of the aorta or an interrupted aortic arch?
Finding: Mitral valve growth occurred after biventricular repair but not single-ventricle palliation, particularly in patients with small valves and low ASD pressure gradients.
Meaning: The ASD pressure gradient determines mitral valve growth and should guide surgical strategies in patients with borderline hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Ji Sook Kim, Yong Myung Jo, Kyung Hee Ko, Eun Ryoung Kim, Je Grun Chi

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(5):727-731. Published online May 15, 1996

Double aortic arch is the most common type of symptomatic vascularring. In most patients, the symptoms are manifested at birth or in early infancy. Double aortic arch usually has more severe symptoms than other types of complete vascular rings. We experienced one case of complete duplicated double aortic arch with left descending aorta and left patent ductus arteriosus. A one-day-old female neonate was transferred...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(10):1349-1355. Published online October 15, 1995

Purpose : We conducted this study to determine the clinical manifestations and prognostic factors of interrupted aortic arch(IAA). Methods : We performed retrospective clinical study with chart review in 9 infants who were diagnosed as IAA between January, 1993 and December, 1994. Results : Infants with IA were from 7 days to 92 days of age. Among them, 6 cases were type...

Interrupted aortic arch is a congenital anomaly in which discontinuity is present between ascending and descending aorta, and is associated frequently with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. Authors experienced a case of interrupted aortic arch in a 4 year old boy associated with a ventriculalr septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. Diagnostic confirmation was made by 2-D echocardiography, cardiac cathetrization and angiogra- phy. Direct closure...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(6):779-783. Published online June 30, 1988

We experienced a case of truncus arteriousus associated with interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. A 5 month old boy had complained of rapid respiration and feeding difficulty since birth. There was no visible cyanosis or clubbing toes and nails. There was a grade 2 〜3 ejection systolic murmur with maximum intensity at the left lower sternal border. Diagnosis was...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(3):312-317. Published online March 31, 1986

This study is a report of two cases of vascular ring that were experienced at Yonsei University in 1983 and 1985. The first case was a one-month-old female patient with a double aortic arch and PDA. The main pulmonary artery was connected to the anterior arch by PDA. The anterior arch was larger in diameter than the posterior arch and the descending...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(4):386-391. Published online April 30, 1983

This is a case report of Interrupted aortic arch combined with large ventricular septaldefect and patent ductus arteriosus. This 5 years old girl, she was complained of frequent upper respiratory infections, exertional dyspnea from 6 months age. The diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography. Pressure of main pulmonary artery was 80/50 (63) mmHg, and that of descending aorta was 75/45(60)mmHg (Qp...
