  1. * Numerical data were assessed for normality by the Shapiro-Wilk test: if matched, they were expressed as mean ± standard deviation; if not, they were expressed as median (quartile spacing)
  2. # Note: 2 cases underwent surgery for ASD + PDA, 2 cases for VSD + PFO, 1 case for aortic constriction + PDA, 1 case for congenital double aortic arch + VSD.
  3. ǂ the diameters of the 2 cases were 6.8 and 4.6 mm, respectively; and the diagnosis age was 21 and 61 days, respectively
