Anomalous Origin of the Circumflex Coronary Artery From the Right Pulmonary Artery Associated With Anomalous Aortic Origin of the Right Coronary Artery: A Case Report of Surgical Treatment.

We present a patient with the extremely rare coexistence of two distinct coronary artery malformations: anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery from the left aortic sinus with intramural course and anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery. Surgical reimplantation of the anomalous left circumflex coronary artery to the aorta and unroofing of the intramural portion of the anomalous right coronary artery were performed.

Percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus with the Nit-Occlud patent ductus arteriosus device in 268 consecutive cases.

Background: The pfm Nit-Occlud patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) device is well established for interventional closure of PDA. However, there are still limited data concerning its efficacy and follow-up in larger patient groups.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Nit-Occlud PDA device, implanted both through transpulmonary and transaortic approach, in a large cohort.

Single-centre 20-year experience with repair of truncus arteriosus.

Objectives: We analysed a large series of truncus arteriosus repairs with a focus on early and late outcomes.

Methods: Ninety-seven consecutive patients who underwent truncus arteriosus repair (1997-2017) were included retrospectively. Univariable analysis for mortality and reintervention was performed.

Surgical treatment of pulmonary atresia with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries in 83 consecutive patients.

Objectives: This article reports the safety and efficacy of a morphology-based algorithm for the surgical management of pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries.

Methods: A total of 83 patients were operated from 2007 to 2014 using 3 surgical approaches: one-stage total repair, one-stage unifocalization with central shunt and delayed total repair and multistage unifocalization with subsequent total repair. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the surgical strategy used to choose the surgical approach.
