Summary

The second of the two chapters on congenital heart disease deals with the less common conditions. Conditions covered include double-inlet ventricle, double-outlet ventricle, atrial isomerism and Ebstein's anomaly. The conditions are well illustrated. A section follows on the pathological features of pulmonary arterial hypertension in congenital heart disease. A large section is devoted to common surgical operations for congenital heart disease that may be encountered by the pathologist, and a section is devoted to the pathological assessment of the operated heart with congenital heart disease.

Congenital pulmonary venous stenosis is a rare but important cause of pulmonary hypertension in infancy. The prognosis is uniformly poor, despite surgery and attempted balloon dilation of the narrowed veins. We performed intraoperative stenting of congenital pulmonary venous stenoses in two infants with initial clinical and hemodynamic improvement. Both patients subsequently died due to progressive pulmonary hypertension. Stenting of the pulmonary veins in this condition does not alter the natural history.

We report a patient in whom a cavopulmonary anastomosis had been constructed, along with repair of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Left-sided pulmonary venous obstruction led to redistribution of the flow to the right lung. The reversal of flow in the left pulmonary artery was accentuated by flow through collateral arteries feeding the left lung. Within 14 months, the collateral flow increased six-fold, resulting in a doubling of the cardiac output.
