Congenital heart diseases ranged from simple to complex/combined defects. For each patient, the leading pathology in the context of the underlying congenital heart disease is listed
* Other diagnoses include: Double outlet right ventricle, double-chambered right ventricle, congenital aortic aneurysm, sinus venosus defect with anomalous pulmonary vein drainage, tricuspid atresia, patent ductus arteriosus, congenital anomaly of superior vena cava, cor triatriatum sinistrum, scimitar syndrome (n = 1 per diagnosis)
