Prenatal diagnosis of transposition of great arteries with left anterior aorta (SDL-TGA)
We report a case with prenatal diagnosis of transposition of great arteries (TGA) with L-posed aorta (SDL-TGA) which was confirmed by postnatal echocardiography. The anatomic findings were confirmed during the successful arterial switch operation (ASO). The technical challenges of ASO in the L-posed aorta are also described.

Absent left main coronary artery in a case of pulmonary atresia-intact ventricular septum and right ventricle-dependent coronary circulation
Anna Krokovay, Walter Knirsch, Janet Kelly-Geyer, Robert Cesnjevar, Hitendu DaveAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(4):425-428
Right ventricle-dependent coronary circulation coexisting with left main coronary atresia in the setting of pulmonary atresia-intact ventricular septum is rare. In the case described, the left coronary artery (LCA) origin from the aorta could not be found on conventional angiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. During surgery, multiple LCA branches originating from the finger-like continuum of the primitive right ventricular sinusoidal network were observed. A Damus–Kaye&...

Left superior vena cava or left vertical vein in supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage - Does it make a difference ?
Radhika Uppal, Nikunj R Shekhada, Sairam Palaparthi, Suman Vyas, Byalal Raghavendrarao JagannathAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(4):422-424
What do we call a vascular structure that is in the left pneumopericardial space, drains systemic venous blood, and the total pulmonary venous return, into the right atrium, through a dilated coronary sinus (CS)? Can we preserve the CS drainage while correcting the total anomalous pulmonary venous connection? (Source: Annals of Pediatric Cardiology)

Unknown origin of acute myocardial infarction and lifesaving percutaneous coronary intervention in a 10-year-old girl

Myocardial infarction is extremely rare in children. However, chest pain suspected to be cardiac in origin by the parents is a very common presenting symptom in pediatric emergency services. In this case, an electrocardiogram is very important in the differential diagnosis of cardiogenic complaints and should be carefully considered. (Source: Annals of Pediatric Cardiology)

Transcatheter occlusion of a hepatic vein-to-left atrium fistula: Should we close venovenous collateral vessels following Fontan operation ?
Maya El-Khouri, Mariam Arabi, Issam El Rassi, Ziad Bulbul, Fadi Sawaya, Fadi BitarAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2022 15(4):415-418
Right-to-left shunt due to abnormal systemic venous drainage to the left heart is among the causes of hypoxemia following Fontan operation. There are conflicting data regarding the closure of the venovenous collaterals (VVCs) post-Fontan, showing decreased survival in older patients. In a child with visceral heterotaxy, we describe a rare fistula draining a right-sided hepatic vein into hepatic venous plexus and a right-sided pulmonary venous atrium. The patient presented with severe hypoxemi...

Inappropriate fetal sinus tachycardia at 9 weeks of gestation
In this report, we describe an extremely rare case of IST detected in the first trimester of gestation, focusing on reviewing important features to improve the diagnosis of the different types of tachycardia by applying fetal cardiac ultrasonography. In the case reported, the diagnosis of IST was suspected in a fetus from a pregnant woman with celiac disease, who was referred at 9 weeks of gestation with fetal tachycardia. The fetus remained hemodynamically stable until term, and the female neonate was born unremarkably. Electrocardiography in the newborn showed sinus tachycardia (ST) with normal PR and QTc intervals. Poss...
