From all congenital cardiopathies, anomalous origin of anterior interventricular artery occurs once per 300,0000 live births, reporting high mortality in the first year after birth. However, if good collateral circulation is available for the artery related to the abnormality, the patient may be kept asymptomatic until mature age. This is the report on a rare case of a 43-year-old patient who was oligosymptomatic, with normal ventricular function in this pathology presentation. The patient was submitted to surgical treatment with no extracorporeal circulation.

Far-red phosphors have emerged as a desirable research hotspot owing to their critical role in promoting plant growth. Especially, Eu ions typically present the D→F (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions, which overlap with the far-red light required for plant photosynthesis. However, achieving high-efficiency far-red emission of Eu remains challenging due to weak D→F transition and concentration quenching.

In this work, CaWO (CWO) phosphors were successfully synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method, exhibiting an anomalous far-red/near-infrared (FR-NIR) emission centered at 685 nm. The origin of this FR-NIR emission is confirmed through Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and heterovalent cationic substitution (Y/Na → Ca). These analyses indicate that interstitial oxygen (O) defects within the lattice are primarily responsible for the FR-NIR emission.

A patient with known pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum and ductal stent presented with low cardiac output and arrythmia. Intraoperatively, the patient was found to have an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery. After reimplantation of the left coronary artery to the aortic root and placement of a central shunt, the patient progressed well and was discharged home.

Anomalous supravalvular mitral chordae tendineae that originate from the mitral leaflet(s) and attach to the interatrial septum or dome of the left atrium are a rare congenital anomaly. These supravalvular chordae are often associated with severe mitral regurgitation and surgical experience has included resection of the anomalous chord as part of the repair. We describe an unusual presentation of an incidentally discovered anomalous supravalvular chord at the time of mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation related to a flail posterior leaflet.

Undetected coronary anomalies at Norwood procedure are associated with poor prognosis due to inadequate myocardial protection. We report a case of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery trunk with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and aortic atresia. Although, during bilateral pulmonary artery banding as initial palliation, the proximity between the right coronary artery origin and the aortic root made a visual diagnosis difficult, it was diagnosed using computed tomography before the Norwood procedure.
