Department of Internal Medicine II, Cardiology, Angiology, Pneumology, Internal Intensive Care, Sports- and Rehabilitation Medicine, Ulm University Medical Center, Ulm, Germany.
Background: Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are a rare congenital heart disease. Large fistulas can lead to coronary steal phenomena presenting with angina, heart failure, and in rare cases, cardiogenic shock.
Case Summary: A 55-year-old woman acutely presented at our heart center with nonhemorrhagic pericardial tamponade and cardiogenic shock.

Background: When anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is diagnosed in infancy, it is associated with high mortality, but collaterals permit rare adult survival despite coronary steal. We report normalisation of perfusion abnormality after transcatheter proximal left coronary occlusion in a symptomatic adult with inducible ischaemia.
Methods: A forty-eight-year-old female presented with exertional chest pain; EKG showed sinus rhythm with left axis deviation with intraventricular conduction defect.

Introduction: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease that in most cases manifests in the first months of life, being a well-studied entity of myocardial ischaemia in young patients. It has been reported that up to 90 % of infants die without treatment in the first year, although late diagnosis is increasingly reported in adults.
Case Summary: We present the case of a 23-year-old woman of Moroccan origin with no medical history of interest, who was admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit after an episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) that required electrical cardioversion.

Pediatric Cardiology Division, Department of Pediatrics, King Abdul-Aziz University, P.O. Box: 80215, 21589, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery (AORPA) from the ascending aorta is a rare congenital anomaly, representing approximately 0.12% of all congenital heart defects. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are essential to prevent severe complications such as heart failure and pulmonary vascular disease.
