“…The results for patients with IDA have improved dramatically over time, thanks to improvements in surgical methods and postoperative care. To monitor for potential problems and optimize heart function, however, continued care and long-term follow-up are crucial [ 14 ].…”

Interrupted descending aorta (IDA) is an extremely rare congenital heart defect characterized by a complete loss of connection between the ascending and descending aorta. This condition is typically diagnosed in infancy or early childhood, but there have been very few cases reported in adulthood. Here, we present a unique case of an IDA in a 16-year-old patient with concomitant aortic stenosis (AS) and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), making it an extremely rare scenario. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management in patients with an IDA, particularly when in association with other cardiovascular abnormalities.

“…A very recent article demonstrated that the co-occurrence of simple and complex CHDs in patients with 22q11.2DS and IAA resulted in a higher risk of hospital complications (such as increased risk of gastrostomy tube placement and sepsis) compared with the non-syndromic counterpart [ 80 ].…”

22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Impact of Genetics in the Treatment of Conotruncal Heart Defects

Congenital heart diseases represent one of the hallmarks of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. In particular, conotruncal heart defects are the most frequent cardiac malformations and are often associated with other specific additional cardiovascular anomalies. These findings, together with extracardiac manifestations, may affect perioperative management and influence clinical and surgical outcome. Over the past decades, advances in genetic and clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment have led to increased survival of these patients and to progressive improvements in postoperative outcome. Several studies have investigated long-term follow-up and results of cardiac surgery in this syndrome. The aim of our review is to examine the current literature data regarding cardiac outcome and surgical prognosis of patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. We thoroughly evaluate the most frequent conotruncal heart defects associated with this syndrome, such as tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, aortic arch interruption, and truncus arteriosus, highlighting the impact of genetic aspects, comorbidities, and anatomical features on cardiac surgical treatment.

Objective: We reviewed our center's surgical mortality rates for those who underwent a Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (STAT) category 4 or 5 neonatal cardiovascular surgery. Methods:We identified all patients who underwent a STAT category 4 or 5 neonatal index cardiovascular surgical procedure between July 2015 and July 2021.Results: We identified 239 patients. We divided them into two groups: (1) 42 (17.6%) ≤2.5 kg, and (2) 197 (82.4%) were >2.5 kg at the time of neonatal surgery. Of those ≤2.5 kg, 18/42 (42.
