Isolation of the left innominate artery from the right aortic arch is a rare anomaly. Herein, we present an even rarer case of incomplete isolation of the proximal left innominate artery with the right aortic arch in a 3-month-old female infant with a double-outlet right ventricle and pulmonary stenosis. Surgical repair at 6 months of age was successful, leading to the restoration of adequate flow in the left arm.

Background: Mature teratomas are benign cystic tumors that are most commonly asymptomatic. However, in some cases, mediastinal teratomas rupture the lungs and mediastinum with potentially fatal outcomes. Herein, we report a case of a large mediastinal mature teratoma that expanded to the entire left hemithorax in a child with common cold-like symptoms.

Minimally invasive thoracoscopic thymectomy has been indicated in patients with non-invasive thymic epithelial tumors or myasthenia gravis. Sub-xiphoid thymectomy has an advantage of similar surgical view of median sternotomy as compare to lateral approach. Since anterior mediastinum is anatomically limited space, robotic approach with carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation has led a drastic innovation in thymectomy.

Purpose: To demonstrate the Modified Balloon Nose Cone Technique to avoid passage of the aortic valve in endovascular branched arch repair.
Technique: The technique is demonstrated in a 54-year-old patient after previous open repair of the ascending aorta and mechanical aortic valve replacement due to type A aortic dissection. The delivery system of a custom-made stent-graft with 3 inner branches was modified by subtotally sawing off its nose cone.
