Objective: To review the operative results of 55 cases of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC).
Methods: This retrospective case series of 55 cases of PAPVC operated from January 2011 to June 2016 at CPE Institute of cardiology, Multan. Baseline characteristics of patients, their operative findings and results were retrieved from the hospital record.
Results: Operation for PAPVC was performed in 55 patients. Patient's age varied from 3-28 years (mean 12.56±7.49), their weight was 9-62 kg mean (25.61±16.28). There were 41(74.5%) males and 14(25.5%) females. 49(89.0%) patients had right sided PAPVC associated with ASD moreover 3(5.4%) cases had right pulmonary vein draining into right atrium. While there was only one case having left sided PAPVC (1.8%) and two cases (3.6%) of bilateral PAPVC (4%). Reassuringly, there was not a single mortality. However, one patient developed junctional rhythum, which was successfully controlled on amiodarone. SVC obstruction having 6mmHg gradient was observed in one case however patient is doing well and is on follow up since 9 months.
Conclusion: Surgical correction of PAPVC generally carries highly reproducible results with low morbidity.

Objectives: Mixed reality (MixR) is an innovative visualization tool that presents virtual elements in a real-world environment, enabling real-time interaction between the user and the combined digital/physical reality. We aimed to explore the feasibility of MixR in enhancing preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance for the correction of various complex congenital heart defects (CHDs).
Methods: Patients underwent cardiac computed tomography or cardiac magnetic resonance and segmentation of digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) images was performed.

Background: An anomalous left vertebral artery (aLVA) can complicate aortic arch surgery. We examined the safety of various aLVA revascularization strategies during open total arch replacement.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 92 patients undergoing total arch replacement from January 2018 to May 2023 and identified 11 patients with aLVA.

Anatomical variation of the pulmonary vessels poses challenges to thoracoscopic lung resection and may be associated with an increased risk of intraoperative bleeding and damage to pulmonary circulation. Herein, we reported a rare and dangerous variation as the partial anomalous venous drainage of the right upper lobe into the superior vena cava in a patient undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy for management of lung cancer of right upper lobe. The preoperative identification of such variation by 3D computed tomography scan allowed to plan a safe and accurate resection, and to prepare additional strategies for overcome unexpected intraoperative bleeding.

Introduction: Partial anomalous pulmonary vein connections (PAPVC) are rare congenital abnormalities in which one or more pulmonary veins drain into the right atrium. This pathological condition may present in various ways, such as chest pain and dyspnea, or it may be diagnosed incidentally. Consequently, missed or late diagnoses are common, highlighting the importance of optimal diagnostic modalities.

Background: The intricate anatomical variations in lung structure often perplex thoracic surgeons, and the accurate identification of these variations is closely associated with favorable surgical outcomes.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old female patient who underwent computed tomography (CT) examination due to chest discomfort, revealing the presence of a partial solid nodule highly suspected of early-stage lung cancer, measuring approximately 2.8 × 2.
