Congenital left atrial aneurysm is a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly, and very few cases have been reported with neonatal presentation. Despite the congenital origin of this condition, it may remain asymptomatic and patients may not present until their third decade of life. Even in asymptomatic cases, prompt surgical intervention is indicated for the prevention of fatal thromboembolic events such as stroke. In neonates and infants presenting early in life, surgical intervention is urgent to relieve respiratory distress symptoms. Herein, we introduce the case of a 3-week-old neonate who presented with severe respiratory distress symptoms requiring prompt intubation and mechanical ventilation. Diagnosis of congenital left atrial aneurysm was established and confirmed by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography angiography. The patient underwent surgical resection of the aneurysm using cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest. The patient was discharged from the hospital after three weeks with normal echocardiography.

Congenital Cardiac Anomaly

Congenital absence of the left atrial appendage is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly which is usually an incidental finding. We present a rare case of congenital absence of the left atrial appendage in a 77-year-old female patient with atrial fibrillation, and we will discuss the role of anticoagulation in the patient with congenital absence of the left atrial appendage based on the scientific data and theoretic background.

AbstractIsolated right superior caval vein drainage into the left atrium is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly usually presenting with hypoxaemia and cyanosis. Surgical repair is the definitive treatment for this condition. In this report, we present the case of a 72-year-old patient with uncorrected anomalous drainage of a right superior caval vein into the left atrium, first diagnosed in the 1960s. To the best of our knowledge, this is the oldest reported unrepaired case.

Right Pulmonary Artery

ABSTRACT Right pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. A 23 years old man visited an ophthalmologist for complains of diplopia and diminished vision with cyanosis. Computerized tomography angiography diagnosed the presence of right pulmonary artery to left atrium fistula. Intraoperative use of transesophageal echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis and guided in real time for the successful ligation of fistula. Transesophageal echocardiography helped to perform the surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass. How to cite this article Das S, Irpachi K, Devagourou V.

Abstract Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a relatively uncommon cyanotic congenital cardiac anomaly accounting for 1.3% of all congenital cardiac malformations. TA associated with an ascending aortic aneurysm is an extremely rare congenital cardiovascular abnormality. A 15-year-old male presented with shortness of breath and cough for 2 weeks. Radiological examinations showed that the ascending aorta and main pulmonary arteries originate from a single truncus with ascending aortic aneurysm. TA has a poor prognosis if remain unrepaired and surgical intervention is necessary to avoid severe pulmonary vascular occlusive disease.

Background. Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, represent 0.1% of all congenital cardiac malformations and may be associated with other cardiac diseases in as many as 50% of cases. The natural history of this defect depends on the size of the communicating orifice between the upper and lower atrial chamber. Case Presentation. We reported case of cor triatriatum in a 12 years old girl with chief complaint of shortness of breath, middle chest discomfort and palpitation since 5 days prior admission. The diagnosis was based on clinical features, chest radiography, electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography. Chest radiograph showed rounded cardiac apex and double contour appearance. ECG showed sinus rhythm, 75 beat per minute, RAD, CCWR, RVH, RV strain pattern with ST depression and T-wave inversion in II, III, aVF, V1-V5. TTE revealed 2 chambers of left atrium, with restrictive supramitral membrane, dilated right atrium, right ventricle and left atrium, smallish left ventricle, proximal left atrial thrombus (5.96 x 3.44 cm), relative mitral stenosis, severe mitral regurgitation, mild aortic regurgitation and severe tricuspid regurgitation. A diagnosis of cor triatriatum sinister was made. The only treatment is surgical correction. Medical therapy, with ampicillin and heparin, was administered during admission. Conclusion. Cor triatriatum has been reported in a 12-year-old girl. The diagnosis is confirmed by clinical manifestations, chest radiography and echocardiography. The only therapy is surgical correction. From the field of cardiac surgeon, patients are advised to improve their general conditions before underwent surgical procedures.
