Isolated right superior vena cava (RSVC) drainage into the left atrium (LA) is a rare congenital anomaly, presenting diagnostic and management challenges. This study presents two cases of isolated RSVC drainage into the LA alongside a comprehensive literature review to improve understanding and delineate optimal surgical approaches. The study describes two cases of isolated RSVC drainage into the LA and their surgical management.

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease, presenting either in isolation or with other cardiac anomalies. The most common presentation is congestive heart failure in infancy, though some may remain asymptomatic till adulthood. A 5-month-old infant with congestive heart failure was diagnosed to have ALCAPA with severe Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.

Background: Atrial switch repair was the first surgical intervention to result in long-term survival in patients with ventriculo-arterial discordance or transposition of the great arteries. However, the natural history after atrial switch is not uneventful with frequent atrial arrhythmia, development of baffle stenosis, and eventually heart failure. For this, new interventions might be necessary but are often associated with increased risk.

Systemic venous baffle obstruction is a long-term complication that can arise from the Mustard operation. We outline a novel percutaneous approach to a long segment, complete occlusion of a Mustard baffle using electrosurgical recanalization and stenting.

Atrial switch surgery is performed in patients with transposition of the great arteries. One of the complications of this surgery is obstruction of the baffle created. We describe the computed tomography findings of one such case where there was delayed presentation of recurrent Mustard baffle obstruction in addition to pulmonary venous drainage obstruction in an adult previously operated on for intra-atrial repair of transposition of the great arteries.
