Pulsating abdominal mass in a newborn - Pentalogy of Cantrell with left ventricular diverticulum.

Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare congenital anomaly involving the anterior diaphragm, pericardium, sternum, peritoneum, and associated intracardiac defects. In this report, we describe a neonate with pentalogy of Cantrell evaluated with multimodality imaging and successfully managed by a multidisciplinary team.

Open arch replacement: my way.

Unlabelled: With advancement of hybrid and endovascular techniques, there are very few indications for open arch replacement. Major advancements in open arch replacement include antegrade perfusion-based cerebral protection, and an endovascular compliant arch replacement. In the present article, we demonstrate and describe our technique of Bentall's procedure and endovascular compliant arch replacement in a young Marfan's patient with chronic type A dissection and root aneurysm.

Overview of acute type A aortic dissection in India.

Acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Though the entity is associated with high mortality and morbidity, with well-executed and timely surgical intervention, mortality and morbidity could be reduced to a reasonable extent. Information about demographics, clinical pattern, and results of management of acute TAAD from the Indian subcontinent largely remains unpublished.

An unusually long intra-atrial course of the right coronary artery detected on CT angiography.

We hereby present an unusually long intra-atrial course of the right coronary artery incidentally detected on computed tomography angiography. Although usually asymptomatic, an intra-atrial right coronary artery may be injured during iatrogenic procedures which require right heart catheterisation.

Greater Curvature, Centerline or Straightened Centerline Length - Which length is Most Accurate for Preprocedural Planning in Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair?

Background: Automated centerline (CL) measurements have been conventionally used for stent-graft length estimation during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of greater curvature length (GL), semiautomated CL and straightened centerline length (SCL) for preprocedural planning in TEVAR.

Methods: Immediate postprocedural CT Angiographies of 30 patients (22 males, age-49.

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortocaval fistula and embolic IVC thrombus-a rare clinical scenario detected on CT angiography.

Rupture with fistulization of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with the vena cava is a rare complication and typically presents with congestive cardiac failure. Embolization of a thrombus from the aneurysm into the vena cava can however present in the absence of failure symptoms which can make it difficult to diagnose clinically without cross sectional imaging.
