Abstract: Deletion 22q11.2 syndrome (Del22) (DiGeorge/Velo-Cardio-Facial syndrome) is
characterized by congenital heart defect (CHD), palatal anomalies, facial
dysmorphisms, neonatal hypocalcemia, immune deficit, speech and learning
disabilities. CHD is present in 75% of patients with Del22. The most frequently seen
cardiac malformations are “conotruncal” defects, including tetralogy of Fallot (TF),
pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD), truncus arteriosus (TA),
interrupted aortic arch (IAA), and ventricular septal defect (VSD). The study of the
specific “cardiac phenotype” in patients with Del22 shows that a particular cardiac
anatomy can be identied in these subjects. In addition to CHD, various organ
systems can be involved, so that a multidisciplinary approach is needed in the
evaluation of patients with Del22.2005-01-01T00:00:00ZPoststenotic aneurysm in a child with native coarctation of the aortic archKnirsch, WalterSchlensak, C.Dittrich, SvenKurtz, CarolineKececioglu, Denizhttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/40672018-06-15T12:29:01Z2005-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Poststenotic aneurysm in a child with native coarctation of the aortic arch
