Background: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (LCA) from the pulmonary artery (PA) (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital abnormality. We present a case of an ALCAPA in a 25-year-old man.

Case Summary: A 25-year-old male with no past medical history was admitted to our intensive cardiac care unit after sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation and suspected acute coronary syndrome.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical application and primary outcome of transcatheter embolization using Amplatzer™ Vascular Plug (AVP) Type 2 and Type 4 in different congenital cardiovascular malformations. This is a single-center retrospective observational cohort study. We analyzed clinical and imaging data of 36 patients retrospectively who received transcatheter embolizations of the following malformations using AVP: systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries (SPCA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), ventricular septal defects (VSD), and aberrant pulmonary sequestration arteries (PSA).

Objective: This study compared the value of different systemic immune-inflammatory markers for evaluating coronary collateralization (CC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic total occlusion (CTO).

Methods: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) were calculated at admission in 1409 T2DM patients with CTO. The degree of coronary collaterals was estimated using the Rentrop scoring system and categorized into poor (Rentrop score 0 or 1) or good (Rentrop score 2 or 3) CC.

December 2024

National Manager-Health System Strengthening, United Nations Development Program (UNDP), 55 Lodhi Estate, New Delhi, India.

Background: The purpose of this paper is to compare the efficacy of dual-phase multidetector computed tomography angiography (CTA) with transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and cardiac catheterization angiography (CCA) in evaluation of pulmonary arteries and collateral vessels, major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) in children with cyanotic congenital heart diseases.

Methods: The study was a prospective observational study where 32 pediatric patients (18 males, 14 females and age range 2-116 months) with cyanotic congenital heart diseases (CCHD) were included. All patients underwent TTE, CTA, and CCA.
