The chosen treatment for anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the lung (ABLL) is typically the division of the anomalous artery and resection of the abnormal area, dependent on the anomalous artery. Although only division or interventional embolization of the anomalous artery may be selected. However, leaving the area dependent on the anomalous artery can lead to complications, such as necrosis and pulmonary infarction. We report the case of a 39-year-old female with ABLL. Intraoperatively, the anomalous artery was first divided. Indocyanine green (ICG) was subsequently injected intravenously to evaluate blood perfusion within the abnormal lung area. Since the abnormal area was still poorly perfused after a few minutes, a left basal segmentectomy was performed because of the possibility of complications. Thus, evaluation of perfusion via ICG can be used in the decision to resect abnormal area.

Anomalous origin of coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery (ACAPA) are rare but clinically significant condition with high mortality if left untreated. Even more rarely, ACAPA is associated with other congenital heart defects. From 1974 to 2024, 120 patients with anomalous coronary arteries connected to the pulmonary artery were retrospectively analyzed.

A man in his early 50s presented to the emergency department (ED) with sudden onset of palpitation and presyncope. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded in ED showed monomorphic ventricular tachycardia requiring cardioversion in view of haemodynamic instability. The patient was subsequently detected to have an anomalous left coronary artery origin from the pulmonary artery.

Purpose: High takeoff of the right coronary artery suspected by echocardiography is widely considered a normal variant. However, in our experience, some patients initially thought to have a high takeoff of the coronary artery were later found to have an anomalous coronary origin with high-risk features. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that high takeoff of the right coronary artery suspected by echocardiography may indicate the presence of an anomalous coronary artery lesion with an intramural course requiring further investigation.

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.
