TGA like physiology can be seen in D- TGA with VSD and no PS, DORV with VSD and no PS, tricuspid atresia with VSD and no PS etc.

Fallot like physiology – cyanotic heart disease with low pulmonary blood flow

Bilateral carotid artery stenosis can be tackled by careful stenting in a staged manner with low risk.

Pulmonary artery banding is used to reduce the pulmonary blood flow in situations of high pulmonary blood flow as a result of left to right shunts.

Commonest great artery relationship in DORV is side by side. Other types are NRGA like, D-TGA like and L-TGA like great artery relationships.

Asymmetric VSD closure device has been designed for the closure of: a) Sub-pulmonic VSD b) Peri-membraneous VSD c) Muscular VSD d) Inlet VSD

An asymmetric VSD closure device is found to decrease the chance of complete heart block.

Which of the following is not an endothelium derived relaxing factor? a) Endothelium derived hyperpolarising factor b) Nitric oxide c) Prostacyclin d) Thromboxane A2

Patient prosthesis mismatch is most likely to occur with: a) AVR b) MVR c) Pulmonary valve replacement d) Tricuspid valve replacement

While assessing brachial artery flow mediated vasodilation, compression to induce ischemia is given: a) Proximal b) Distal c) Either in the arm or in the fore arm d) None of the above
