Giant left atrium is extremely rare in pediatric population. We hereby report a case of 4-year-old child with giant left atrium (LA) due to "non-rheumatic" mitral regurgitation (MR). The giant LA caused dextro-rotation of the heart, which immediately reverted to normal cardiac position after surgical repair.

Background: A strategy for the surgical repair of ruptured Kommerell diverticulum has not yet been established. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that this entity could be associated with a number of other cardiac anomalies and this lesion can be successfully treated by a hybrid approach.
Case Presentation: The patient, with a combination of ruptured Kommerell diverticulum, dextrorotation, bovine arch, and bicuspid aortic valve, underwent emergency surgery.

CANTRELL SYNDROME IS A VERY RARE CONGENITAL DISEASE ASSOCIATING FIVE FEATURES: a midline, upper abdominal wall disorder, lower sternal abnormality, anterior diaphragmatic defect, diaphragmatic pericardial abnormality, and congenital abnormalities of the heart. In this paper, we report a case of partial Cantrell's syndrome with left ventricular diverticulum, triatrial situs solitus, ventricular septal defect, dextrorotation of the heart, an anterior pericardial diaphragmatic defect, and a midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect with umbilical hernia. The 5-month-old patient underwent a successful cardiac surgical procedure.

Unlabelled: The case is reported of a male baby with a decreased time average velocity of the basilar artery to 32%, measured by Doppler sonography in dextro-rotated head position. The decrease was due to a hypoplastic right vertebral artery with compression of the contralateral vertebral artery at the craniocervical junction during dextro-rotation of the head. This finding was more prominent in prone than in supine position.

Background: Translocation of the coronary artery to the neoaorta is essential in the arterial switch operation. The goal of this study is to investigate (1) the frequency of commissural malalignment in complete transposition of the great arteries, (2) the usefulness of echocardiography in diagnosis of commissural malalignment, and (3) the impact of commissural malalignment on surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 28 patients with complete transposition of the great arteries who underwent an arterial switch operation from February 2000 to August 2001.
