Cardiopathies Congenitals

Single coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly with a quoted incidence of 0.024% to 0.06% (), and may be associated with sudden cardiac death after exercise and angina. We present the case of a single coronary artery originating from a single ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva with..

Transposition is the condition in which the great arteries take origin from the ventricles in reverse position across (“trans”) the ventricular septum: the aorta from the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk from the left ventricle (). In terms of segmental sequence, this corresponds to discordant ventriculo-arterial (VA) connection (–)...

A sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) is an abnormal dilatation of the aortic root located between the aortic valve annulus and the sinotubular junction. It occurs as a consequence of weakness of the elastic lamina at the junction of the aortic media and the annulus fibrosis. The function of the..

Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are extremely rare. Ruptured aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are frequently associated with other congenital defects, particularly with ventricular septal defect, aortic valve regurgitation, and bicuspid aortic valve. We describe the case of a 26-year-old man who had a ruptured aneurysm of the..

Congenital heart diseases that cause obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract are often difficult to diagnose. We report the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with long-standing shortness of breath on exertion. Imaging revealed right ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by a double-chambered right ventricle, and he was..

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital cardiac defect. As the name suggests, in PAPVC, the blood flow from a few of the pulmonary veins return to the right atrium instead of the left atrium. Usually, a single pulmonary vein is anomalous. Rarely, all the veins from..
