Based on the data of angiographic examination of 25 patients with a single heart ventricle, a new classification of complex congenital heart disease is proposed. It indicates the type of defect without taking into account the morphology of the single ventricular chamber, which is angiographically difficult or impossible to determine in some cases. This classification simplifies the interpretation of angiographic images, reflects the anatomical variants of the defect and meets the modern requirements of cardiac surgery.

Background and objectives: Spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are rare, and they may be caused by an aneurysm rupture. Materials and Methods: A case of a man hospitalized for high-intensity hemicranial headache with sudden cough onset as part of an upper respiratory tract infection is presented. The pain was of a pulsating character, localized on the right, behind the eye, followed by nausea and vomiting. Neurological finding registered a wider rima oculi to the right and slight neck rigidity. Laboratory findings detected a mild leukocytosis with neutrophil predominance, while cytobiochemical findings of CSF and a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the endocranium were normal. Results: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiography indicated the presence of a carotid cavernous fistula with a pseudoaneurysm to the right. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed to confirm the existence of the fistula. The planned artificial embolization was not performed because a complete occlusion of the fistula occurred during angiographic examination. Patient was discharged without subjective complaints and with normal neurological findings. Conclusions: Hemicranial cough-induced headache may be the first sign of carotid cavernous fistula, which was resolved by a spontaneous thrombosis in preparation for artificial embolization.

Aneurysms of the internal carotid artery are the second most common among cerebral aneurysms. When an aneurysm is located in the ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA), the intravascular treatment method is a priority. At the same time, the treatment of recurrent and non-radially switched-off aneurysms of this localization remains a subject of discussion.Case report. We present a 42-year-old patient with a ruptured ICA aneurysm who was admitted in a serious condition. Initially, the patient underwent partial occlusion of the aneurysm cavity with endovascular coiling. In the control cerebral angiography 3 months after the haemorrhage, the recanalization of the aneurysm was verified, which served as an indication for repeated surgical intervention. We preferred the microsurgical method of treatment. A control angiographic study 1 year after the second operation confirmed the radical shutdown of the aneurysm.Discussion. The presented case illustrates the need for a flexible approach in the treatment of complex paraclinoid aneurysms. The choice of endovascular treatment of such aneurysms in the acute period of haemorrhage is justified as the most sparing, although less radical. Depending on the nature of the embolization performed, the timing of the control angiographic examination should be selected individually and can be reduced to 2 months. If there are indications for repeated surgical intervention, it should be performed by the safest method, providing total shutdown of the aneurysm and reducing the volumetric impact of the aneurysm dome on the optic nerve.
