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.

AbstractA fistula from the pulmonary artery to the left atrium is a very rare congenital anomaly. The communication, almost exclusively arising from the right pulmonary artery, may give rise to a variety of symptoms with cyanosis as the predominant sign. To our knowledge only seven neonates have been reported with this anomaly, and five of them died postoperatively. We present another two neonates with such a fistula which was closed by simple ligation using a transsternal approach and cardiopulmonary bypass. Both patients had an uneventful postoperative course and are alive and well at the age of two and three years, respectively.

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.

Abstract A fistula between the pulmonary artery and the left atrium is a rare entity and its diagnosis is uncommon in the neonatal period. There are more reported surgical treatments in the literature than with a transcatheter closure. We report the case of a prenatal diagnosis of a large fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium with successful transcatheter closure with an Amplatzer duct occluder II 6/4 mm.

SummaryCor triatriatum sinister is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that has been identified in 0.1% of children with congenital heart disease. It is defined as a fibromuscular membrane that divides the left atrium into two chambers: a superior (proximal) that in most cases receives drainage from the pulmonary veins and an inferior (distal) chamber that communicates with the mitral valve and the left atrium. Cor triatriatum sinister can be an isolated lesion (approximately 25% of cases), but in many cases it is associated with other congenital cardiovascular anomalies, the most common one being – atrial septal defect(3). Symptoms in patients with cor triatriatum sinister are related to obstruction of pulmonary venous drainage, pressure loading of the right side of the heart and congestive cardiac failure. Depending on the severity of the obstruction and presence of associated cardiac anomalies it can be diagnosed at any age. Diagnosis is usually achieved by echocardiography in early infancy. Elective treatment method is surgical excision of the membrane. Here we present a pediatric patient (4 months old) presenting in cardiogenic shock with a successful correction of isolated cor triatriatum sinister. To confirm diagnosis and success of surgical repair, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography were used.

The Hamman-Rich syndrome is described in a 4-year-old Negro male. The clinical picture was that of persistent cough and progressive dyspnea beginning at 4 months of age. Diagnosis was made ante mortem by lung biopsy. The fibrotic process and arteriolosclerosis were more marked in the right lung. The disease may have been initiated by a bout of aspiration. There was accompanying stenosis of the right pulmonary artery and vein and occlusion of the lumen of the right pulmonary vein at its entrance to the left atrium. The hilar vascular findings are believed to be secondary to hilar areolar inflammation.
