A rare case of catheter-induced infectious endocarditis of the right heart chambers complicated by embolism of the left pulmonary artery and its successful surgical treatment is presented. We performed the operation to remove a foreign body and vegetations from the superior vena cava and the right atrium, embolectomy from the left main branch of the pulmonary artery, chemical sanitation of the right chambers of the heart and pulmonary artery under extracorporeal circulation.

Pulmonary Artery Agenesis

Proximal interruption of the unilateral pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly, which is often associated with other cardiovascular abnormalities. It is usually diagnosed in children but rarely discovered in adulthood as an isolated phenomenon, occurring more frequently on the right side and is often associated with a contralateral aortic arch. We are presenting a rare case of a sixty year old male who was diagnosed with left lung hypoplasia due to proximal interruption of left pulmonary artery with left sided aortic arch without any associated cardiovascular anomalies.

Pulmonary Artery Agenesis

Unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (UAPA) or pulmonary artery agenesis is a rare congenital disorder presenting with a wide spectrum of symptoms. UAPA is usually associated with cardiac anomalies and surgically treated in childhood. We report a rare case of a 50-year-old woman who was diagnosed with left pulmonary artery agenesis without any other cardiac anomalies. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of undiagnosed cases of UAPA in patients through a chest radiograph that suggests the diagnosis. Confirmation of the diagnosis and anatomic details can be discerned by CT scanning.

AbstractHemitruncus is a rare congenital heart disease. Anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery is not only rare but also pathogenetically different from anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta. In most cases in isolated hemitrucus pressures in the right ventricle and the normally originating pulmonary artery are systemic or suprasystemic. We present a rare case of anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta diagnosed in an adult with normal pressures in the right ventricle and normally originating pulmonary artery. To the best of our knowledge, this unique haemodynamics has never been reported in the literature.

Membranous Obstruction

ABSTRACT Branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis may occur as an isolated finding or in conjunction with other cardiac malformations; it may be congenital or acquired postoperatively. Branch PAs need to be assessed individually to determine the adequacy of their size, whether they are confluent or nonconfluent, any stenosis at origin or distally, and severity of stenosis. Certain lesions, such as supravalvar pulmonary stenosis, or stenosis at the branch PAs bifurcation, are better dealt with at surgery. Thus, perioperative transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) assume a very important role in precisely evaluating the anatomy of main and branch PAs.
