Dextrocardia

Dextrocardia is a rare congenital disorder in which the heart resides on the right side of the thoracic cavity. It is often associated with other development anomalies and, in most cases, is diagnosed incidentally. It can occur by itself or can be accompanied by a reversal in the position of..

Unroofed coronary sinus

Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (URCS) is a rare cardiac anomaly in which a communication occurs between the coronary sinus and the left atrium as a result of the partial or complete absence of the roof of the coronary sinus. This entity is strongly associated with a persistent left superior vena..

Coronary artery fistula congenital

Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are abnormal communications of coronary arteries whereby venous circuits bypass the normal capillaries within the myocardium. CAFs are rare, and most affected patients are asymptomatic. However, these fistulas are the most common coronary artery anomalies that can alter coronary hemodynamic parameters. Although most CAFs are asymptomatic..

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA)

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare heart defect in which the heart’s lower half is reversed. It is also called L-TGA. It is different from and much less common than “regular” transposition of the great arteries (TGA or D-TGA). To understand CCTGA, it helps to..

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare congenital heart lesion with varied morphological presentation and can often by asymptomatic. A failing systemic right ventricle (RV) or increasing tricuspid regurgitation are generally indications for surgical intervention. The surgical approach depends upon the age of the patient and..

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly defined by atrio-ventricular and ventriculo-arterial discordance. This malformation makes up less than 1% of congenital heart defects. We report here a case of a 15-year-old female who presented to our hospital with dyspnea as seen in the New..
