Achenbach Syndrome - Case Report and Discussion on the Interdisciplinary Approach of a Patient.

We present a case of Achenbach syndrome, which is an alarming disease for both patients and physicians, although it is a rare, benign and self-limiting disorder. It is also reported as "paroxysmal finger haematoma", but the majority of cases are misdiagnosed, and unnecessarily investigated and treated.

Challenging Diagnosis of Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery.

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the pulmonary artery, ARCAPA, is an extremely rare congenital heart disease. Only 200 cases were reported from 1885 to the present. Patients diagnosed with ARCAPA can be either asymptomatic or can experience symptoms, such as heart murmur, dyspnea, or angina, shortly after birth or around 40-60 years of life.

Ductus Arteriosus Stenting in Newborns - Transcatheter Approach as a Bridge Therapy for Corrective Surgery.

Duct-dependent congenital heart disease requires attentive therapeutic management since the only source of pulmonary blood flow in newborns is provided by the patent ductus arteriosus. The patency of the duct is the main objective in the first hours of life and it is guaranteed by prostaglandin E1 infusion, but it is not a long-term solution for this type of cardiac malformation. In order to augment pulmonary blood, there are two types of interventions that can be performed: a classical surgical shunt or stenting of the ductus arteriosus, a fairly new alternative to cardiac palliative surgery.
