A rare case of congenital heart disease: anomalous origin of coronary from innominate artery with coronary fistula and truncus arteriosus

Abstract Anomalous origin of a single coronary artery arising from the innominate artery associated with coronary artery fistula and truncus arteriosus is extremely rare. We found this anomaly in a 16-month-old infant-girl who received Rastelli procedure during the operation. The three defects described above are rarely found together; indeed, such a case as ours may be the first reported in the literature.

Congenital Coronary Anomaly

Coronary arteries anomalies are an uncommon congenital heart disease. Anomalous origin of three separate ostia is the rarest condition. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common inherited disease. There have been just few cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in relation with congenital coronary anomaly. In this report, we describe a rare case of anomalous origin of all three coronary arteries from separate ostia with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.J MEDICINE JUL 2018; 19 (2) : 136-137

AbstractAn anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease. Among the variants, an anomalous origin of the left anterior descending coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALADPA) is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of ALADPA in an adult that was treated with coronary artery bypass grafting using the left internal thoracic artery.

Case Summary ◽

Atrioventricular Canal Defect

Introduction: Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are the most common primary benign cardiac tumors, although they are somewhat unusual in children and typically seen on the left-sided cardiac valves.Case summary: A 10-week-old patient was found to have a partial atrioventricular canal defect, with associated tricuspid and mitral regurgitation. He was medically managed until 1 year of age, when surgical correction was done. During the procedure, a PFE was found incidentally on the TV.Conclusion: This is one of the youngest patients to be reported with PFE, thus adding to the literature of these unusual cases in children.

First Case

Objective. To report the first case of human infection (infective endocarditis [IEI]) caused by Pasteurella gallinarum and to review the literature regarding IE caused by the genus Pasteurella. Setting. University hospital based. Patient. An adolescent boy who underwent successful correction for truncus arteriosus 10 years before the present illness. Results. Persistent fever, pallor, and a palpable spleen suggested IE clinically. Echocardiography documented vegetation in the conduit that was used for surgical correction. Blood cultures grew P. gallinarum and confirmed its role as the causative organism for IE in the patient. Conclusion. This case illustrates that IE may develop in a child with congenital heart disease several years after surgical intervention using material that is foreign to the body (conduit), and that such a complication may involve unusual pathogens. These observations emphasize the need for careful long-term follow-up of children with congenital heart disease even after successful surgical correction.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly in children. Over half of the deaths due to CHD occur in the neonatal period. Most children with unrepaired complex heart lesions do not live to celebrate their first birthday. We describe the spectrum of congenital heart disease in Uganda. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of children with CHD who presented to the Uganda Heart Institute (UHI), Mulago Hospital Complex from 2007 to 2014. Results: A total of 4621 children were seen at the UHI during the study period. Of these, 3526 (76.3%) had CHD; 1941(55%) were females. Isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD) was the most common CHD seen in 923 (27.2%) children followed by Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) 760 (22%) and atrial septal defects (ASD) 332 (9.4%). Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and Truncus arteriosus were the most common cyanotic heart defects (7% and 5% respectively). Dysmorphic features were diagnosed in 185 children, of which 61 underwent genetic testing (Down syndrome=24, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome n=10). Children with confirmed 22q11.2 deletion had conotruncal abnormalities. Conclusion: Isolated VSD and Tetralogy of Fallot are the most common acyanotic and cyanotic congenital heart defects. We report an unusually high occurrence of Truncus arteriosus. Keywords: Congenital heart disease; children; Uganda.
