Interatrial defect, ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus in a 2-day-old newborn infant

Interatrial defect and patent ductus arteriosus

“…Comments on " Interatrial defect, ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus in a 2-day-old newborn infant" by Dattilo et al [1,2] We can say that his interpretation coincides with our interpretation and with the knowledge about patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and secundum atrial septal defects. Interatrial defects [3][4][5] and PDA [6][7][8][9][10][11] can occur as part of more congenital cardiac malformations or as an isolate finding.…”

A recurrent patent ductus arteriosus

“…Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] can occur as part of more congenital cardiac malformations or as an isolate finding. Spontaneous [5,8], transcatheter [6], surgical closure [9] and pharmacological treatment [8,[10][11][12] have been reported.…”

The chance finding of an aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva in an 11-year-old child with a ventricular septal defect and a pericardial effusion

“…Ventricular septal defects [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] can occur as part of other congenital cardiac malformations or as an isolated finding. Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rare [9], most commonly involving the right or noncoronary sinuses [10].…”
