Tricuspid regurgitation can be due to different causes and mechanisms. Among these, cardiac involvement in carcinoid disease is a rare cause of tricuspid valve disease with a peculiar echocardiographic aspect. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman, with no past medical history, who was recently found to have a heart murmur and signs of right heart failure.

Introduction: Although myocardial injury is common after blunt chest trauma, tricuspid valve injury associated with traumatic atrial septal defect resulting in acute hypoxia is an infrequent event. We report an unusual case of blunt chest trauma referred to us for unexplained hypoxemia, emphasizing the unusual nature of injury and the importance of comprehensive cardiac evaluation in such cases.

Though initially described in 1971 by Van Praagh, transposition of great arteries with posterior aorta is rarely reported in last two decades. Since the arrangement of great arteries appears like normally related great arteries, a careful echocardiographic evaluation is necessary in patients with clinical features of transposition of great arteries. In majority of cases with this anatomy, arterial switch operation can be performed without the need of Le Compte manoeuvre.

A 38-year-old man was evaluated for heart palpitations and chest pain diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, left ventricular ejection fraction 30%, and moderate aortic insufficiency. On echocardiographic control, evidence of aortic bicuspid valve and aortic coarctation on the isthmus with dilated epiaortic vessels. Computed tomography angiography confirmed the presence of aortic coarctation of the descending portion of the arch with supply of the thoracic aorta by collateral vessels originating from the brachiocephalic vessels.
