Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. Its clinical course is typically severe in infancy, leading to left ventricular ischemia, cardiogenic shock, and high mortality without surgical intervention.We describe a rare case of a 3-year-old girl diagnosed with ALCAPA, showing extensive right-to-left collaterals, preserved left ventricular function, and minimal myocardial injury.

Common pulmonary vein atresia (CPVA) is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by the absence of functional connectivity between the pulmonary vein and any other heart cavity or systemic venous structure. A 13-h-old newborn (G3P3) was admitted to the department of pediatrics of a local maternity hospital and given tracheal intubation ventilator for assisted breathing due to systemic cyanosis, respiratory distress, and poor response 4 h after birth. He was transferred to Handan Maternal and Child Health Hospital 7 h after birth.

Sinus venosus atrial septal defects (ASDs) are rare congenital anomalies that result from an abnormality of the junction between the right atrium, superior vena cava (SVC), and pulmonary veins. This defect causes right-to-left shunting, which can lead to progressive right heart enlargement. We present a case of a 59-year-old man with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia who presented with dyspnea and newly diagnosed atrial flutter.

Background: A complete replacement left hepatic artery (LHA) solely originating from the left gastric artery (LGA), with no supply from the hepatic artery proper, is exceptionally rare. This variant places entire left lobe perfusion on the LGA. Literature review confirms no prior reports of such an isolated LHA replacement pattern in surgical/radiological publications.
