This book addresses the most technically demanding but
life-changing techniques in the treatment of conotruncal heart
defects, as many repairs are performed on small infants. Each
chapter reviews surgical anatomy (the anatomical classification
that the surgeon is using), preoperative evaluation (the surgeon's
check list before doing the surgery), and surgical techniques
(clear drawings and videos, minimal text). It is an essential
reference book for newly qualified surgeons when performing these
complex cases. Conotruncal heart defects (CTHDs) are a group of
complex congenital anomalies of the cardiovascular system that are
a major cause of symptomatic cardiac disease at birth. They may
account for up to 30% of all congenital cardiac anomalies. In many
instances, patients with CTHD are symptomatic in the first days or
weeks of life, with severe cyanosis or heart failure, requiring
surgery in the neonatal period or in infancy. Most CHTD are today
diagnosed in utero by fetal ultrasound. CHTDs are usually defined
as malformations of the cardiac outflow tracts and presumably
result in disturbance in the development of the cono-truncal
apparatus of the embryonic heart, as well as of the primitive
aortic arches. CTHDs include the following: truncus arteriosus,
tetralogy of Fallot, double outlet right (or left) ventricle,
transposition of the arteries, corrected transposition of the great
arteries, interrupted aortic arch. The outcomes of CHTD surgery has
considerably improved in the past 20 years, with quite fascinating
innovations.
