What diseases are associated with the right arch?
Truncus (More closely related)
TOF (More common overall)
With regard to the big box hear is non-cardiac causes of hight output Failure seen in these conditions
Infantile Hemangioendothelioma and Vein of Galen Malformation
Left Side Arch + Massive heart size =
- Ebsteins or
- Pulmonary atresia without VSD
Left Side Arch + Normal heart size + Increased Pulmonary Blood flow

What is the most common type of congenital heart disease, and which subtype is the most prevalent?
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart disease.
Within VSD, the membranous subtype, located just below the aortic valve, is the most common, accounting for about 70% of cases.
Why are Outlet subtype VSDs significant, and what complication can they lead to?
Outlet subtype VSDs, located in the infundibulum, are significant because they must be repaired to prevent complications. One such complication is the prolapse of the right coronary cusp into the defect.
What are the common radiological findings of a VSD on a Chest X-Ray (CXR)?
enlarged heart, increased vasculature, and a small aortic knob. In some cases, there might be splaying of the carina due to an enlarged left atrium.
What percentage of small VSDs close spontaneously?
About 70% of small VSDs close spontaneously without the need for medical intervention.
When does the Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) normally close after birth?
The PDA normally closes functionally around 24 hours after birth and anatomically around one month.
What are three key associations to recall when considering a PDA?
(1) Prematurity,
(2) Maternal Rubella, and
(3) Cyanotic Heart Disease.
What are the typical radiological findings of a PDA on a CXR?
The typical radiological findings of a PDA on a CXR include a large heart, increased pulmonary vasculature, and a large aortic arch, often referred to as a “ductus bump.”
What are the medical management options for a PDA?
A PDA can be medically managed either by closing it through intervention or keeping it open with medications, depending on the clinical scenario and patient needs.
What is the most common types of Atrial Septal Defect?
Secundum (50-70%)
The larger subtype of ASD?
Pimum
What ASD subtype results from an endocardial cushion defect?
Primum, is more likely to be symptomatic
What ASD subtype may close withouth treatment?
Secundums
Why is primum not amenable to device closure?
Because of its proximity to AV valve tissue
ASD is common in what gender?
Female
Hand/Thub defects + ASD =
Holt Oram
When I say Ostium primum ASD (endocardial cushion), you say?
Downs Syndrome
When I say Venosus ASD, you say?
PAPVR
What is the most common cardiac manifestation of Holt Oram’s?
ASD
Adults with AV septal defects have how many % risk of recurrence o f heart disease in their kids
10%
Also referred to as an endocardial cushion defect
AV Canal
An endocaridal cushion defect belons to the specrtum of what defect?
Ostium Primum
Described the AV canal
deficient development of a portion of the atrial septum, a portion of the inter-ventricular septum, and the AV valves.
AV canal has strong association with what condition?
Down’s Syndrome
O f all the congenital heart stuff with Downs patients, what is the most common?
AV Canal
What is the best view to see AV canal Defects?
Four chameber horizontal view
This is a rare ASD which occurs secondary to a fenestrated (as in the cartoon) or totally unroofed coronary sinus.
Unfroofed Coronary Sinus (Coronar Sinus ASD)
What is the most important clinical manifestation of Unroofed Coronary Sinus (Coronary Sinus ASD)?
Paradoxical Emboli
Chronic Right heart Volume overload
