Abstract
BACKGROUND Prenatal diagnosis of Berry syndrome, a rare combination of cardiac anomalies including aortopulmonary window (APW), aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery (RPA), interrupted aortic arch (IAA), hypoplastic aortic arch, or coarctation of the aorta (COA), poses a significant challenge. Due to the rarity of the disease, and the limited case reports available to features the complex malformation of Berry syndrome postpartum, this article introduces an innovative approach to visually showcase this unusual disease. The proposed method provides a comprehensive display of the structural deformities, offering valuable insights for clinical practitioners seeking to comprehend this condition. CASE PRESENTATION In this report, we present a case where fetal echocardiography aided in diagnosing Berry syndrome, which was later confirmed through postpartum cardiovascular casting. Our experience highlights the importance of using the three-vessel view to diagnose APW and aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery. Additionally, obtaining true cross-sectional and sagittal views by continuously scanning from the three-vessel-trachea view to the long-axis view of the aortic arch is necessary to image IAA or coarctation of the aortic arch. CONCLUSIONS Early and accurate prenatal diagnosis of Berry syndrome is feasible and our cardiovascular cast can perfectly display the microvascular morphology of the fetal heart, which may have great application prospects for postpartum diagnosis and teaching of complex cardiac abnormalities.

Abstract
The combination of aortopulmonary window, interruption of the aortic arch, and anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is a rare and complex congenital cardiac malformation. Despite good prenatal care in our case, this cardiac anomaly was not detected prior to birth. Untreated infants who do not undergo surgical correction have a mortality rate of 70% in their first year, and 30% will die within the first 3 months of life.

Abstract
BackgroundBerry syndrome is a challenging disease for surgeons to make early diagnosis and successful surgical correction in the neonatal period. Here, we summarized the clinical features of three neonates with berry syndrome in our center to optimize the therapeutic effect in the future.MethodsFrom January 2014 to December 2019, three neonates with berry syndrome underwent one-stage surgical repair in our center. We mainly used two different surgical techniques to repair it, and collected clinical data retrospectively from hospitalization history, outpatient records, and telephone follow-up.ResultsThe age at operation was 28, 8, and 8 days and the body weight was 3.65, 3.86, and 3.0 kg, respectively. The morphology of the interrupted aortic arch (IAA) was type A in two patients and type B in one patient. The aortopulmonary window (APW) morphology was type IIa, III, and IIb, respectively. The phenotype of the IAA type B combined with APW type III in our second patient was reported for the first time so far. All patients survived and were followed up to date. The second patient using intra-aortic baffle experienced twice reoperation for right pulmonary artery (RPA) stenosis. All patients grew well so far.ConclusionOnce diagnosed in the neonatal period, berry syndrome can be safely corrected by one-stage surgical repair in experienced cardiac centers. Considering the variability of the location where the RPA arises from the posterior wall of the aorta, it is difficult to find the best surgical method for each patient.

Abstract
Berry syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, characterized by distal aortopulmonary window, hypoplasia or interruption of the aortic arch, intact ventricular septum, and aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery and patent ductus arteriosus. Anatomic depiction of each component is important for the diagnosis. Single-stage surgical repair is challenging but feasible with good survival outcomes. The available literature on this anomaly is limited. Hence, this paper aims at reviewing the literature on Berry syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Berry syndrome, a rare combination of cardiac anomalies, consists of aortopulmonary window (APW); aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery; interrupted aortic arch (IAA) or hypoplastic aortic arch or coarctation of the aorta; and an intact ventricular septum. There is lack of review articles that elucidate the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of Berry syndrome. This publication systematically reviews the 89 cases published since 1982 on Berry syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A 38-year-old woman presented with a loud murmur and cyanosis. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a severely dilated aorta and main pulmonary artery with a large intervening defect. Distal to the APW, the ascending aorta gave rise to the right pulmonary artery. Additionally, a type A IAA, an intact ventricular septum, and a large patent ductus arteriosus were revealed. Computed tomography angiography with 3-dimensional reconstruction confirmed above findings. This is the first report of a patient of this age with Berry syndrome who did not undergo surgery. CONCLUSIONS Berry syndrome is a rare but well-identified and surgically correctable anomaly. Patients with Berry syndrome should be followed up for longer periods to better characterize long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta (AOPA) is a rare and potentially deadly anomaly. Little research, aside from case reports on APOA, has been published, especially for patients with late referrals. METHODS This study was a retrospective review of 57 patients with AOPA who underwent reimplantation of the pulmonary artery (PA) from 2009 to 2019. Two different reimplantation methods were used to correct the anomaly, including direct anastomosis in 36 patients and angioplasty with autologous tissue in 21 patients. RESULTS The median age at repair was 2.8 months (range, 8 days to 3.6 years). In-hospital death occurred in 2 patients (3.5%). Five patients (9.1%) with a median age of 9.3 months (range, 5.2 months to 3.6 years) experienced a pulmonary hypertensive crisis. Patients older than 4.9 months were more likely to have a pulmonary hypertensive crisis (P = .001). The 2-year freedom from postoperative PA stenosis rate was 75.3% in patients who underwent direct anastomosis and 46.8% in patients who underwent autologous tissue angioplasty (χ2 = 4.878; P = .027). Angioplasty with autologous tissue (hazard ratio, 5.03; 95% confidence interval, 1.61 to 15.71; P = .005) and an innately smaller diameter of the aberrant PA (hazard ratio, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.45 to 0.92; P = .015) were 2 independent risk factors for postoperative PA stenosis. CONCLUSIONS Surgical reimplantation of the PA in patients with AOPA has resulted in favorable early and midterm outcomes. Pulmonary hypertensive crisis occurs more commonly in patients who receive a diagnosis after the age of 4.9 months. Reimplantation with autologous tissue augmentation and an intrinsically smaller diameter in affected PAs are 2 independent risk factors for postoperative PA stenosis.

Abstract
Berry syndrome is a trilogy involving an aorto-pulmonary window, right pulmonary artery from ascending aorta and an interrupted aortic arch. Surgical repair for this anomaly is associated with a high mortality rate and incidence of right pulmonary arterial stenosis. Herein, we present the case of a patient with Berry syndrome, who underwent a rapid two-stage repair involving bilateral pulmonary arterial banding and complete repair. Postoperative computed tomography scan showed well-repaired great vessels free of obstruction.

Abstract
Interruption of the aortic arch, aortopulmonary window, and anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta are very rare congenital anomalies. It is even rarer to have all three anomalies in the same setting. We present a case of a newborn who was diagnosed with these lesions and describe the primary repair of these anomalies.
