Recently, significant progress has been made in the field of endovascular repair of complex aortic disease involving the major branches (aortic arch disease and complex abdominal aortic aneurysms). Open surgery was considered the "gold standard" for the treatment of these complicated aortic diseases, but was challenged by the huge surgical trauma and high risk of post-operative complications. However, the rapid development of branched and fenestrated endografts has provided an alternative safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for patients who cannot tolerate open surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • A case is reported of a 57-year-old woman experiencing unstable angina due to compression of the right coronary artery by a large aneurysmal ALVT, which was not detected by preoperative imaging.
  • This case emphasizes the need for careful evaluation of unusual anatomical features in ALVT, requiring a combination of imaging and surgical exploration for diagnosis and effective treatment, leading to resolution of the patient's symptoms after surgery.

Background: Giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAA), are rare findings often discovered incidentally in adults. GCAAs are defined by a significant enlargement of coronary arteries, posing a heightened risk of myocardial infarction and thrombosis.

Case Presentation: A 52-year-old male known case of ischemic heart disease (IHD), presented with chest pain and signs of anterior ST-elevation MI (STEMI).

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening condition with high morbidity and mortality rates, making early diagnosis and intervention crucial. This report details the case of a 47-year-old male with a history of mechanical prosthetic aortic valve replacement, presenting with pyrexia and diagnosed with aortic bioprosthetic endocarditis leading to a massive aortic pseudoaneurysm. This shows that 3D transesophageal echocardiography is much more useful than regular 2D imaging for finding problems with IE, which makes surgical planning and intervention more precise.
