Seven children underwent surgery with the technique of in situ pericardium to enlarge the obstructed pulmonary veins, with two deaths; in all five survivors there was normalized pulmonary artery pressure after a mean follow-up of 26 months.

Ann Thorac Surg 1999, 67:1142-1146. Four neonates with truncus arteriosus and severe truncal valve regurgitation have been treated by truncus repair and simultaneous remodeling of the truncal valve from quadricuspid to tricuspid, with excision of the smallest cusp and closure of the correspondent sinus by a subcommissural suture approximating the adjacent cusps. A substantial reduction of the truncal valve regurgitation has been obtained in all of them.

After more than 30 years of surgical repair for tetralogy of Fallot, there are still unsolved questions on several points: What should be the standardized approach to obtain the best long-term results? Early repair at any age and body weight? Transatrial or transventricular? Complete relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction? This paper proposes an answer to one of these questions in a scientific approach.

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 1999, 16:21-25. This report of clinical experience with the Hanley approach for pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and major aortopulmonary collaterals by means of early repair, with single-stage complete unifocalization, closure of ventricular septal defect, and creation of right-ventricle-to-pulmonary-arteries continuity by conduit interposition, confirms the feasibility of the technique, with reproduction of good results.

Another paper trying to answer the following question: Is the bidirectional superior vena cava to pulmonary artery anastomosis to be considered a similar or better solution for the long term than a total cavopulmonary connection? Because of a biased patient selection, this interesting retrospective study does not provide us with a definitive answer.

The late functional results after total cavopulmonary connection confirm the hypothesis that early ventricular volume unloading is beneficial for univentricular hearts as well as for biventricular hearts.
