TL;DR: Total pericardiectomy is associated with lower perioperative and late mortality, and confers significant long-term advantage by providing superior hemodynamics that appear to be independent of the etiology of constrictive pericarditis.

TL;DR: The great majority of myocardial tissues in cyanotic tetralogy of Fallot indicates pre-existing ultrastructural hypertrophic and degenerative changes, which are more pronounced in older patients subjected to long-standing cyanosis and pressure overload.

TL;DR: The viable tunnel may emerge as an optimal alternative by virtue of reduction of supraventricular arrhythmias, elimination of the need for anticoagulation, and addressing the issue of growth potential in selected patients.

TL;DR: One and one-half ventricular repair can be performed with an acceptable risk, the operation maintains a low pressure in the inferior vena caval tributaries, and reverses the Fontan paradox.

TL;DR: This review gives an account of all cases previously described as mixed totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection, analyzing in detail those cases where an accurate anatomical description was provided, and suggests an increased appreciation of various types of mixed totally anomalies may well contribute to improved future surgical management.
