Abstract
Objectives With the development of perioperative treatment, the results of the unifocalization and corrective repair of pulmonary atresia/ventricular septal defect with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries have been significantly improved. However, the in-hospital recovery is quite different individually. Therefore, it is essential to find prognostic indicators to avoid unsatisfactory recovery. Design This was a case-control study. Setting The study was conducted in the national center for cardiovascular diseases in China. Participants Pediatric patients between 2014 and 2022. Interventions None. Measurements & main results A total of 19 patients were included. The possible prognostic indicators included were commonly used clinical data. Unsatisfactory postoperative recovery was defined as mechanical ventilation≥ 7 days and/or in-hospital death. Satisfactory postoperative recovery was defined as mechanical ventilation<7 days and survival at discharge. We separated patients into two groups and compared the peri-operative data through univariable analysis. There were 8 patients in unsatisfactory recovery group (including 1 death) and 11 patients in satisfactory recovery group. Among all the possible prognostic indicators, through univariable analysis, pulmonary arterial pressure in pulmonary flow study was statistically different (p = 0.027 < 0.05). The ROC curve showed that the area under curve and cut-off values in predicting satisfactory recovery were 0.841 and 22 mmHg; the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 72.7%. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in ventricular septal fenestration and pulmonary hypertension targeting drugs. Conclusion A pulmonary arterial pressure <22 mmHg in pulmonary flow study may avoid unsatisfactory in-hospital recovery after unifocalization and corrective repair of pulmonary atresia/ventricular septal defect with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries.

Abstract
•TOF with PA hypoplasia can be diagnosed in adult dogs. •MAPCAs were suspected on the basis of TTE detection of collateral vessels. •Acyanosis in this dog was attributed to multiple sources of pulmonary blood flow. •Augmented reality can provide unique imaging capabilities for complex heart defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a complex cyanotic congenital heart disease. As most patients with TOF undergo palliative or radical surgical repair during childhood, cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for adult survivors with unrepaired TOF is exceedingly rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 41-year-old woman with unrepaired TOF, pulmonary atresia (PA), and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) developed acute infectious endocarditis (IE). As vegetation gradually increased despite intravenous antibiotic administration, she was scheduled for urgent aortic valve replacement under CPB. Pulmonary blood flow was primarily provided by the MAPCAs originating from the descending aorta. Intra-aortic balloon occlusion for MAPCAs was performed to ensure a bloodless surgical field. Aortic valve replacement was successful. CONCLUSION An adult with uncorrected TOF developed acute IE and subsequently had successful cardiac surgery under CPB. Understanding TOF physiology with PA and MAPCAs, particularly pulmonary blood flow through MAPCAs, is crucial.

Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cause of cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) and the most frequent complex CHD encountered in adulthood. Although children with TOF share four characteristic features (subaortic ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary stenosis), the clinical spectrum and course are in fact greatly heterogeneous. Echocardiography remains the mainstay for diagnosis, presurgical planning and postoperative follow-up. However, with continued technological advances, CT now plays an increasing role in TOF evaluation and management, helping to minimize routine invasive catheter angiography. Preoperatively, CT is uniquely suited to assess associated pulmonary arterial, aortic and coronary anomalies as well as extra-cardiovascular structures and is particularly helpful for delineating complex anatomy in the TOF subtypes of absent pulmonary valve and pulmonary atresia with major aortopulmonary collaterals. Postoperatively, CT is useful for identifying surgical complications and for long-term monitoring including volumetry quantification, especially in children for whom MRI is contraindicated or limited by implanted devices such as pacemakers and stents. In this article, we review key clinical features and considerations in the pre- and postoperative TOF patient and the burgeoning role of CT for facilitating accurate diagnosis and personalized intervention.

Abstract
Tricuspid and pulmonary atresia with single ventricle physiology and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) is a complex cyanotic congenital heart disease with heterogeneous pulmonary artery morphology and arborization. The complex anatomy and physiology, coupled with a dearth of existing literature, pose imitable challenges to treatment. Although the exact surgical algorithm is still unclear, the goal is a well-developed, low-resistance pulmonary vascular bed. A precise understanding of the blood supply to each lung is a requisite for successful surgery, and a multimodality and multidisciplinary approach is compulsory. Herein, we describe a case of tricuspid and pulmonary atresia with single ventricle, MAPCAs and aortopulmonary collateral arteries.

Abstract
An extremely low birth weight infant (810 g) was born with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries accompanied by pulmonary overcirculation, which eventually resulted in intestinal hypoperfusion and focal intestinal perforation from the very early stage of life. Based on the echographic findings, we performed banding operations twice to regulate the pulmonary blood flow on day 2 and day 9. At 6 months of age, a definitive repair simultaneous with unifocalization of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries was performed. At 1 year of age, the right ventricle/left ventricle pressure ratio was 0.44 after balloon angioplasty was performed for the right-sided pulmonary artery stenosis. The patient is in a stable condition and was followed-up for more than 2 years after definitive repair. This is the first known successful repair of pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries in an extremely low birth weight infant.

Abstract
A boy with 22q11.2 deletion was diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PAVSD) and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs). At 8 months, unifocalization of left MAPCAs and BT shunt was performed at another hospital. However, they occluded directly after surgery. An angiography revealed 2 MAPCAs supplying all segments of the right lung. Qp:Qs was 2.24. At 1 year 6 months, we performed VSD closure with unifocalization of the only right lung vascularity, using intraoperative PA flow study. We report a successful case of complete repair with unilateral lung in PAVSD and MAPCAs.

Abstract
Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries is considered the most severe end of the tetralogy of Fallot spectrum, whereas complete atrioventricular septal defect associated with tetralogy of Fallot is a rare congenital defect. However, the combination of pulmonary atresia, major aortopulmonary collateral artery and complete atrioventricular septal defect is extremely rare, and surgical repair has not been reported. We describe a successful, 1-stage correction in a 7-month-old boy with this condition, who had an additional complication of a single aortic outlet from the right ventricle and significant atrioventricular valve regurgitation.

Abstract
Major aortopulmonary collateral artery (MAPCA) is a rare vessel anomaly defect arising from the systemic arteries and supplying flow to the pulmonary capillary circulation, which frequently associates with cyanotic heart disease, particularly pulmonary atresia coexisting with ventricular septal defect and tetralogy of Fallot. The branches of MAPCA usually originate from the descending aorta, while a feeding vessel from a coronary artery directed to the pulmonary vasculature is a rare occurrence. Herein, we present the first case of right side pulmonary atresia with a variant of MAPCA originating from the left circumflex coronary artery to the pulmonary capillary circulation in a patient who presented with acute coronary syndrome.
