Review
Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (PA/VSD/MAPCA) represents an anatomically diverse and technically demanding spectrum of congenital disease. Here, we review a manuscript by Onalan et al. in the Journal of Cardiac Surgery detailing a retrospective, single-center cohort study of patients undergoing unifocalization for PA/VSD/MAPCA via either a pulmonary artery patch augmentation or pericardial roll technique. While they report statistically equivalent outcomes using both techniques, longer follow-up and increased sample size are necessary to determine efficacy and safety.

Review
Berry syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, characterized by distal aortopulmonary window, hypoplasia or interruption of the aortic arch, intact ventricular septum, and aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery and patent ductus arteriosus. Anatomic depiction of each component is important for the diagnosis. Single-stage surgical repair is challenging but feasible with good survival outcomes. The available literature on this anomaly is limited. Hence, this paper aims at reviewing the literature on Berry syndrome.

Truncus arteriosus, an anomaly of the conotruncus, is an extremely rare congenital heart disease that affects 1.19% of all patients with congenital heart diseases. We present a surgical technique using an 8-mm cryopreserved aortic root homograft in the aortic position and a 12-mm pulmonary valved conduit in the right position that allowed us to correct this rare congenital malformation. The cryopreserved aortic root homograft was considered a priority option for surgical correction. The neonatal Bentall (micro-Bentall) procedure is a surgically demanding procedure but can be performed successfully by an experienced surgeon. If we were performing a non-salvage procedure, we would have chosen a decellularized allograft.
