We report a case of an adult male with Tricuspid atresia post Fontan shunt in whom a rare coronary anomaly was demonstrated on Computed Tomography angiography using endoluminal views and volume rendering techniques.

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.

We hereby present a case of intrapulmonary invagination of the left internal mammary artery detected on CT angiography. We aim to highlight the role of CT angiography in identifying these course anomalies and their clinical implications.

We hereby present a patient with tetralogy of Fallot in whom a carotid trunk and aberrant right subclavian artery (arising just next to the origin of the left subclavian artery) were diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) angiography. We aim to highlight the role of CT angiography in identifying these rare aortic arch branching anomalies, which are crucial information for the operating surgeon.

We report a case of a 3-month-old girl with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum where computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated an anomalous venous channel connecting the left brachiocephalic vein to the left atrium and all the pulmonary veins draining the left lung were seen draining individually into this channel. The case highlights the differential diagnosis of such veno-venous connections between the systemic and pulmonary venous circulations as well as the growing role of CT angiography in the understanding of these venous anomalies in the setting of complex congenital heart diseases.

We report a case of a 1-year-old boy with double outlet right ventricle where computed tomography (CT) angiography incidentally demonstrated the separate origin of the left external and internal carotid arteries directly from the left-sided aortic arch with absence of a left common carotid artery. The case highlights the underlying embryological hypothesis as well as the importance of CT angiography in identifying anomalies of the aortic arch and arch vessels in the setting of complex congenital heart defects.

We report a case of a 3-month-old boy transposition of great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis where computed tomography (CT) angiography detected a "levoatriocardinal vein" connecting the left superior pulmonary vein and the left brachiocephalic vein with a preserved normal connection between the left superior pulmonary vein and left atrium. This case highlights the hemodynamic implications of a "levoatriocardinal vein" as well as the role of CT angiography in detecting such associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with complex congenital heart defects.

Aim: The present study sought to study morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with crossed pulmonary arteries on multidetector computed tomography (CT) angiography.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all CT angiography studies performed at a tertiary medical center from January 2014 to December 2021 to identify patients with crossed pulmonary arteries. The associated cardiovascular anomalies as identified on CT angiography were evaluated.

We report a case of a 35-year-old man with a dilated ascending aorta and a unique meandering retrosternal course of the right coronary artery (RCA) resulting in a partially empty right atrioventricular groove. The aortic root showed an exaggerated clockwise rotation, resulting in an anteriorly directed RCA ostium and the RCA, instead of entering the right atrioventricular groove, traversed caudally in the subepicardial space over the anterior surface of the right ventricle directly posterior to the sternum.

We hereby present a case of tetralogy of Fallot with duplicated brachiocephalic vein having a preaortic and a subaortic component. We aim to highlight the role of computed tomography angiography in identifying these rare associations of tetralogy of Fallot.

We report a case of a 5-year-old child with tetralogy of Fallot-pulmonary atresia with anomalous origin of left pulmonary artery from ascending aorta and right lung supplied by collateral arteries. This case highlights the role of preoperative CT angiography in differentiating this entity from a common arterial trunk with discontinuous pulmonary arteries.

Aim: To study the imaging characteristics and the associations of left atrioventricular valve atresia with patent aortic root and lateralized atrial chambers on multidetector computed tomography (CT) angiography.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all the CT angiography studies performed for the evaluation of various congenital heart diseases at our center from January 2014 to December 2021. Cases with left atrioventricular valve atresia and patent aortic root with lateralized atrial chambers were identified.

We report an 11-year-old child with double-chambered right ventricle detected on echocardiography in whom computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a rare arch anomaly double aortic arch with atretic left arch. This case highlights the ability of CT angiography in identifying such cardiovascular anomalies which have clinical and surgical implications.

We hereby present a case of congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries association of bicuspid aortic valve morphology and anomalous separate origin of the right ventricular branch of the right coronary artery. We aim to highlight the role of computed tomography angiography in identifying these rare associations.

We report a case of a 6-month-old girl with double outlet right ventricle where a right aortic arch with an abnormally posterior brachio-bicephalic trunk on the left side closely resembled an incomplete double-aortic-arch with distal left arch atresia on computed tomography (CT) angiography. The case highlights the role of preoperative CT angiography in demonstrating aortic arch and arch vessel anatomy in patients with complex congenital heart diseases.

We report a case of a 2-month-old boy with tricuspid and pulmonary atresia with a unique configuration of "kissing" atrial appendages. The case highlights the importance of computed tomography angiography in identifying such anomalies associated with complex congenital heart defects.

We report a case of 6-week-old boy with a mixed variety of totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection where the common channel had a dual drainage into the coronary sinus and left brachiocephalic vein respectively. The case also highlights the role of preoperative computed tomography angiography in demonstrating the exact pulmonary venous anatomy, course and identifying obstruction, when present.
