We described a case of a double aortic arch (DAA) with a subaortic left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV) and right-side ductus arteriosus using high-definition (HD) flow render mode and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC). We experienced uncertainty regarding this interesting case despite the diagnosis of right-sided ductus arteriosus. The ductus arteriosus originates from the right pulmonary artery (PA) and converges into the descending aorta (DAO), whereas the vessel originated from the PA and converged into the ascending aorta (AAO).

Background: Anomalous left brachiocephalic vein (ALBCV) is a rare venous anomaly. Double Left brachiocephalic vein is the rarest type of ALBCV anomaly.

Case Report: Here we report a case of gentleman with post myocardial infarction ventricular tachycardia who underwent ICD implantation, where we could not place the lead initially through left side.

Double-outlet left ventricle (DOLV) is an abnormal ventriculo-arterial connection characterized by the origin of both great arteries from the morphological left ventricle. The aim of our paper is to describe the morphological and imaging features of DOLV and to assess the prevalence of the associated malformations and their surgical outcomes. METHODS From 2011 to 2022, we retrospectively reviewed the electronic case records of patients diagnosed with DOLV at the Bambino Gesu Children's Hospital.

Decision-making in congenital cardiac care, although sometimes appearing simple, may prove challenging due to lack of data, uncertainty about outcomes, underlying heuristics, and potential biases in how we reach decisions. We report on the decision-making complexities and uncertainty in management of five commonly encountered congenital cardiac problems: indications for and timing of treatment of subaortic stenosis, closure or observation of small ventricular septal defects, management of new-onset aortic regurgitation in ventricular septal defect, management of anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery in an asymptomatic patient, and indications for operating on a single anomalously draining pulmonary vein. The strategy underpinning each lesion and the indications for and against intervention are outlined.

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (ARCA) represents <3% of congenital coronary anomalies, while the subaortic membrane represents 6.5% of congenital heart anomalies. Symptomatic co-occurrence of ARCA and subaortic membrane in an adult is rare.
