We report a new technique for closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defect with high partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. This technique consisted of preservation of the atriocaval junction, advancement of the posterior rim of the atrial septal defect anterosuperiorly and enlargement of the superior caval vein using right atrial appendage. We found this to be a convenient technique and recommend it for correction of this anomaly.

Trisomy 22 is a rare autosomal constitutional chromosomal disorder with high survival incompatibility being the third most frequent trisomy in spontaneous abortions and accounting for 10%-15% of all cases. Mosaic trisomy 22 is a less severe variant of the disorder associated with mild phenotype and longer lifespan compared to cases with complete trisomy 22. To date, there have only been 25 reported cases of trisomy 22 worldwide.

Background: This article focuses on the effect of body mass index (BMI) on cardiac structure and function in cases with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Only a few articles have investigated the relationship between BMI and the incidence of left atrial thrombus (LAT) or spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) in cases with NVAF.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study was conducted at The First People's Hospital of Changzhou.

Background: Survival beyond one month of age is rare in children born with obstructed infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). There are limited data available on surgical outcomes of the same subset. We conducted this retrospective study to identify risk factors associated with surgical outcomes in this patient population.

Background: ASD is a relatively rare subset among patients with situs inversus dextrocardia with concordant AV connection and a minimally invasive approach in dextrocardia has yet to be standardized. The present case describes a case surgical closure of ostium secundum ASD by left mini-thoracotomy approach in patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus.
Case Presentation: The present case describes a 44-year female patient of ostium secundum ASD in dextrocardia with situs inversus.

Introduction: Electrophysiologic (EP) procedures are typically performed via the femoral venous system, but in some patients, the inferior vena cava (IVC) is unavailable. The hepatic vein has emerged as a viable alternative to femoral access, providing an inferior route that accommodates large sheaths required for better catheter manipulation. Although the percutaneous transhepatic approach has been used successfully in the pediatric population, its use in adults is scarce, with a complication rate of approximately 5%.
