Vertical vein aneurysm in supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

Aneurysmal dilatation of the vertical vein in a case of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is an extremely rare condition. It has been reported to occur secondary to severe compression of the vertical vein when it traverses between the left bronchus and the left pulmonary artery. We present a 14-year-old male with supracardiac TAPVC with a vertical vein aneurysm, probably secondary to stenosis caused by a thin membranous web just proximal to the aneurysm.

Anomalous origin of left vertebral artery from ascending aorta associated with interrupted aortic arch and persistent truncus arteriosus.

We present a case of a 3-week-old boy with persistent truncus arteriosus associated with interrupted right aortic arch having an anomalous origin of the left vertebral artery from the ascending aorta.

Complex right atrial mass in endomyocardial fibrosis: a diagnostic dilemma.

Endomyocardial fibrosis, though a vanishing disease from India, remains an important cause of heart failure in children, adolescents and young adults. It may be complicated with arrhythmias and thromboembolism and is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Moreover, usual presentation of this condition is in advanced stage with poor prognosis.

Imaging of coronary artery fistulas by multidetector CT angiography using third generation dual source CT scanner.

Coronary artery fistulas are rare cardiac conditions which constitute a subgroup of anomalies of the coronary arteries. Though majority are asymptomatic, they may be associated with high prevalence of late symptoms and complications. Accurate identification of the fistulas, their hemodynamic significance and associated conditions generally influence management strategies.
