Case Report: This case report describes the multidisciplinary approach performed in a 9-year-old male patient with dental agenesia affecting teeth 21 and 22. Autotransplantation of the right upper second premolar with incomplete rhizogenesis to the missing area was combined with coronary reshaping with resin composite and orthodontic therapy. The treatment began with the extraction of the deciduous upper left central incisor, bone preparation for the recipient site of the donor tooth, atraumatic extraction of the right upper second premolar and immediate autotransplantation in the surgically prepared recipient site.

The article describes a successful clinical outcome in the case of a 24-year-old male with a diagnosis of an ostium secundum atrial defect secondary to a perforated aneurysm associated with vena cava agenesis. During hospitalization, an echocardiogram revealed the presence of ostium secundum inter-atrial communication with a left to right shunt, a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 60%, and mild pulmonary hypertension, measured at 40 mmHg. CT imaging showed anomalous dilation of the azygos vein (16.

Coronary arteries originate from the first portion of the aorta, emerging from the right and left aortic sinuses. They traverse through the subepicardium and coronary sulcus to supply the myocardium during diastolic function. The objective of this review was to understand how the hypoplasia and agenesis of the coronary arteries are associated with cardiac pathologies.

Objective: While aneurysm of the aortic root, interrupted aortic arch, and aortic coarctation are the most frequent aortic diseases in adolescents and younger adults, there are a number of rare pathologies of the thoracic aorta that need individualized treatment.
Patients: We present a small case series of unusual aortic pathologies in patients presenting with a broad spectrum of symptoms: tiredness, dysphagia, dyspnea, arterial hypertension, renal failure, and claudication. (1).

Background: The presence of a dilated coronary sinus (CS) assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is highly suggestive of inferior or superior vena cava (SVC) anomalies, in the absence of a shunt. The most frequent finding is the persistence of a left superior vena cava (LSVC): well-known feature to electrophysiologists. Abnormal inferior vena cava (IVC) drainage is another cause of CS dilatation.
