True congenital atresia of the left main coronary ostium: delayed presentation.

Congenital atresia of the left main coronary ostium is a rare coronary anomaly presenting in adulthood. A 48-year-old man presented with unstable angina. Coronary angiography showed an absent left coronary ostium with a super-dominant right coronary artery retrogradely filling the left system.

Successful balloon mitral valvotomy in a rare coexistence of Ebstein's anomaly and rheumatic mitral stenosis.

Co-existence of Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve with rheumatic mitral stenosis is a very rare occurrence. We report the case of a young man who presented with progressive dyspnoea and was found to have rheumatic mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension and Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve. The patient underwent successful balloon mitral valvotomy resulting in marked improvement of symptoms.
