A 35-year-old woman presented with dyspnea on exertion. The diagnosis was unroofed coronary sinus with persistent left superior vena cava and atrial septal defect. She underwent total correction with the intracardiac baffle technique by using an interatrial flap and autologous pericardial patch. Her clinical course was uneventful and markedly improved after the surgery.

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.

Intraoperative acute cardiac tamponade associated with iatrogenic intracardiac perforation from percutaneous interventional cardiac procedures is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication. We report a case of intraoperative acute hemopericardium caused by a left atrial (LA) perforation resulting in cardiac tamponade in a patient undergoing a baffling procedure for the correction of two anomalous pulmonary veins draining into her superior vena cava (SVC) that required continuous pericardiocentesis with autologous blood transfusion via the femoral vein and an emergency intraoperative transfer from the interventional cardiology cath lab to the cardiac operating room for an open sternotomy and primary repair. An 86-year-old female with known right-ventricular (RV) failure with preserved ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): 50-55% on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) one week prior) and atrial fibrillation was admitted for her third heat failure exacerbation in two months despite being adherent to her aggressive diuresis medication regimen.

Double inlet left ventricle (DILV) is a form of single ventricle heart disease where both atrioventricular valves enter a single left ventricle. Surgical intervention may be needed in the neonatal period secondary to systemic outflow tract obstruction or less commonly pulmonary obstruction. Two-dimensional echocardiography can adequately assess newborn anatomy and define the need for surgery.

Aims: Common to adult electrophysiology studies (EPSs), intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) use in paediatric and congenital heart disease (CHD) EPS is limited. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of ICE use and incidence of associated complications in paediatric and CHD EPS.
Methods And Results: This single-centre retrospective matched cohort study reviewed EPS between 2013 and 2022.
A Newly Detected Left Ventricular Mass Following A Complex Intracardiac Repair.

Appearance of unexpected masses in the chambers of the heart during cardiac surgery can be intriguing. We report the case of a mass in the left ventricle that appeared at the time of separation from cardiopulmonary bypass in a child after a complex intracardiac repair. The child presented for surgery to a tertiary care hospital in Muscat, Oman, in 2022.
