Unusual combination of three types of interatrial communications in a child.

An unusual combination of three types of interatrial communications - coronary sinus defect, primum defect, and secundum defect - occurring together in a 3-year-old child is presented.

Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot Through Limited Left Anterolateral Thoracotomy: An Alternative to Repeat Sternotomy.

We report two patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot who underwent pulmonary valve replacement through a limited left anterolateral thoracotomy. We describe the technique in detail. Both patients were at risk of cardiac injury during repeat sternotomy.

Left Superior Vena Cava Draining Into Left Atrium in Tetralogy of Fallot-Four Cases of a Rare Association.

Persistent left superior vena cava is a common congenital anomaly of the thoracic venous system. Left superior vena cava draining into left atrium is a malformation of sinus venosus and caval system. The anomaly may be a cause of unexplained hypoxia even in adults.

Atypical Left Ventricular Myxoma: Unusual Echocardiographic and Histopathological Features.

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors and are typically attached to the interatrial septum. Left ventricular myxomas are exceedingly rare and presentation in children is all the more uncommon. We report a case of left ventricular myxoma with very atypical cystic appearance raising an initial suspicion of a hydatid cyst.
