    A Shunt From the Brain: Left Internal Carotid Artery Arising From the Left Pulmonary Artery in Tetralogy of Fallot
    (ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY, 2015) Idhrees, AM; Mathew, T; Menon, S; Dharan, BS; Jayakumar, K
    Origin of a common carotid artery from a pulmonary artery is extremely rare, but isolated origin of an internal carotid artery from a pulmonary artery with intracardiac anomaly has not been reported before. We report a case of the left internal carotid artery arising from the left pulmonary artery in a case of tetralogy of Fallot. The possible embryologic mechanism and the surgical management of this unique lesion are described. (C) 2015 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons

    Multiple Muscular Ventricular Septal Defects: Use of Fluorescein Dye to Identify Residual Defects
    (ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY, 2014) Mathew, T; Kundan, S; Abdulsamad, MI; Menon, S; Dharan, BS; Jayakumar, K
    Multiple muscular ventricular septal defects remain a challenge for the congenital heart surgeon. The optimal strategy for an infant or neonate with multiple muscular ventricular septal defects is still unclear. Perioperative identification and secure closure of these defects pose significant difficulties. We describe a novel technique of using fluorescein dye to identify small muscular ventricular septal defects. (C) 2014 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons

    SurgicalClosure of Aortopulmonary Window in a Topsy-Turvy Heart: A Surgical Challenge
    (ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY, 2016) Sasikumar, D; Dharan, BS; Menon, S; Sivasubramanian, S; Kapilamoorthy, TR
    Topsy-turvy heart is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by a 90 degrees rotation of the heart along its long axis. The great vessels originate posteroinferiorly, and the arch vessels are elongated and join the aorta well below the carina. It is usually associated with aortic arch and tracheobronchial anomalies. Cardiopulmonary bypass is challenging in these patients because of the abnormal position of the great vessels. We describe the surgical management of aortopulmonary window in a topsy-turvy heart in a 14-day-old girl. (C) 2016 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
