    (2015) Gursu, Hazim Alper; Varan, Birgul; Ozkan, Murat; Erdogan, Ilkay; Oktay, Ayla; Aslamaci, Salt; 0000-0002-6719-8563; 0000-0002-0707-2678; 0000-0001-6887-3033; ABB-1767-2021; AHI-4502-2022; ABB-2220-2021; AAJ-2305-2021
    Background: This study aims to analyze the data regarding cases diagnosed with cor triatriatum sinistrum at a single pediatric center, highlighting symptoms on presentation of the anomaly, mode of diagnosis, age at the time of diagnosis, any other accompanying cardiac defects, and outcomes. Methods: Records of 21 patients (13 females, 8 males; mean age 32.4 month; range 7 days to 57 years) diagnosed with cor triatriatum sinistrum between January 1997 and January 2012 at the pediatric cardiology clinic were analyzed retrospectively. Medical records including demographic data, clinical progress, diagnostic approach, and surgical interventions were reviewed. Results: The majority of patients (81%) had accompanying cardiac defects, atrial septal defect being the most frequent (33%). Restrictive pattern was detected in five patients. Seven patients (33%) died after diagnosis. We resect the fibromuscular diaphragm in 11 of 21 patients. One patient died after operation. Most common presenting symptoms were lower respiratory tract infections, dyspnea, and early fatigue. Sixteen patients were diagnosed with echocardiography. Conclusion: Despite the diversity in clinical findings at presentation and accompanying cardiac lesions, cor triatriatum sinistrum is a treatable defect with satisfying treatment outcomes.

    Mid-Term Results of Patients with Transposition of Great Arteries Who Underwent Senning Procedure
    (2014) Gursu, Hazim Alper; Varan, Birgul; Ozkan, Murat; Tokel, Kursat; Erdogan, Ilkay; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0707-2678; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6719-8563; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6759-1795; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6887-3033; AHI-4502-2022; ABB-1767-2021; AAF-3253-2021; ABB-2220-2021
    Background: This study aims to evaluate mid-term follow-up results for patients with transposition of great arteries to whom Senning procedure was performed. Methods: Files of 95 child patients (63 boys, 22 girls; mean age 15.2 +/- 23.9 months; range 1 month to 12.5 years), who were diagnosed with transposition of great arteries and underwent atrial switch operation in our institute, were retrospectively evaluated. In the follow-ups; physical examination, electrocardiography, and echocardiography were performed. In addition, ambulatory electrocardiography monitorization was conducted on 25 patients. Results: Out of 95 patients who were performed atrial switch operation, 10 died in the postoperative period. The mean follow-up period was 33.4 +/- 43.7 months (1-16 years; mean 18 months). During the follow-ups, arrhythmia was detected in 25.8% of the patients, stenosis of pulmonary venous baffle was detected in 21.2%, systolic dysfunction of the right ventricle was detected in 19%, severe tricuspid valve insufficiency was detected in 18.9%, and baffle leak was detected in 15.3%. Of the patients, 11.7% were operated a second time, and 8.2% were reoperated due to stenosis of pulmonary venous baffle. Conclusion: Short and mid-term results of Senning procedure are not satisfactory. Patients should be monitored for possible right ventricle dysfunction, arrhythmia, systemic valve insufficiency, and stenosis of the tunnel.

    Case report and the surgical treatment of two cases with pulmonary atresia in which pulmonary arteries is circulated by coronary arteries
    (2018) Tokel, Kursad; Yakut, Kahraman; Varan, Birgul; Erdogan, Ilkay; Ozkan, Murat; 0000-0002-6719-8563; 0000-0001-6887-3033; 0000-0002-6759-1795; 29664428; ABB-1767-2021; AAJ-2305-2021; ABB-2220-2021; AAF-3253-2021
    Pulmonary atresia (PA) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) can occur in a variety of ways, from simple valve atresia to a condition in which circulation to the pulmonary bed occurs through collateral arteries separated from the aorta and there are no real pulmonary arteries, or they are present but hypoplastic. The size of the pulmonary arteries and concomitant complex cardiac lesions are important in making decisions about treatment and correctional alternatives. While complete correction surgeries in the style of a correction of tetralogy of Fallot are performed in simpler cases, many very invasive procedures are also performed and the resulting quality of life is very variable. The size of the pulmonary artery and its branches and the presence of accompanying collateral vessels are determining factors in the management of the disease. In this report, 2 cases of VSD and PA, in which the circulation of the pulmonary arteries was through the coronary arteries, diagnosed as a result of echocardiography performed following murmurs heard during examination, are described. The first patient was 40 days old and the second was 2 days old. In the second case, diagnosis was confirmed by catheter angiography, and in the first case, the final diagnosis was made during surgery. The aim of this report is to emphasize the importance of pulmonary artery size, the presence of pulmonary confluence, the origin of circulation, and concomitant collateral arteries when considering treatment methods.
