This clinical case demonstrated surgical management for a rare case of vascular ring associated with an elongated and kinked aortic arch and a right descending aorta in a ten-year-old male using an extra-anatomic bypass grafting method and dividing the vascular ring. Computer tomography performed at six-month follow-up showed a favorable surgical outcome.

AbstractWe describe a male infant, seen at the age of 10 days, with a very rare form of vascular ring. The aortic arch was left-sided, but the aorta descended on the right, with a right-sided persistently patent arterial duct associated with interruption of the aortic arch and presence of Abbott’s artery. We performed end-to-side anastomosis of the descending aorta to the ascending aorta, divided the Abbott’s artery and the right-sided arterial duct, and banded the pulmonary trunk. Despite our best efforts, the patient died on the eighth day after the surgical intervention.

Kommerell Diverticulum

Kommerell diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch characterized by dilation at the proximal descending aorta, which gives rise to an aberrant subclavian artery. Kommerell diverticulum is usually asymptomatic, but can also be associated with symptoms due to compression of the esophagus or trachea, and can rarely be fatal due to dissection or rupture of the diverticulum. Here, we report a rare case of dysphagia caused by compression of the esophagus by Kommerell diverticulum originating from the right-sided aortic arch.

We present the case of a neonate born with an unusual complex vascular ring formed by a left-sided aortic arch that had retroesophageal course to join a right-sided descending aorta and a very large right-sided arterial ductus from the right pulmonary artery to the descending aorta. Associated finings included aortic arch hypoplasia, aberrant right subclavian artery, and aberrant origin of the left pulmonary artery from the aorta. We focus on the role of computed tomography angiography in the preoperative and postoperative assessment of this complex anomaly.

AbstractScimitar or pulmonary venolobar syndrome, a rare pulmonary anomaly, consists basically of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right lung to the inferior caval vein, anomalous systemic arterial supply to the right lower lobe from the descending aorta, hypoplasia of the right lung, and dextroposed heart. We present a rare case with constellation of all these findings of scimitar syndrome, but with the aberrant pulmonary vein draining into the left atrium.

Aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital heart disease that can increase pulmonary vascular resistance, exacerbate left-to-right shunt and lead to heart failure and respiratory tract infections. Most patients die during childhood. We report a 53-year-old male patient with a large aortopulmonary window combined with anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the aorta, with Eisenmenger syndrome and without surgery.

Intramedullary diaphyso-epiphysary lipomas of the thigh bone are extremely rare in the literature (8 cases described). A case in a 58 years old woman is reported. The tumor was localized in the right femoral bone. The same patient had previously presented a similar tumor in the subcutis of the hip and in the parotid area.

Aspergillus can cause devastating opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Rarely does this fungus invade the heart, and when it does, survival is especially poor despite optimal medical and surgical treatment. We report a case of cardiac aspergilloma with involvement of the tricuspid valve and both the right atrium and ventricle found on a transthoracic echocardiogram in an immunocompromised patient after developing atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. The findings from this case suggest that early clinical suspicion is critical in early diagnosis and thus early treatment.
