Coronary artery fistulas are a very rare cardiac anomaly. The reported Incidence of coronary artery fistula is 0.10.2% in all patients undergoing coronary angiography [1]. 26% of the patients with coronary artery fistula have associated coronary artery aneurysm. Giant coronary artery aneurysms with diameter exceeding 50 mm are extremely rare. As the aneurysm enlarges, complications related to v...

Mycotic aneurysm (MA) is an infrequent complication of infective endocarditis (IE), reported in 3 to 15% of the patients with IE. The commonest site for such aneurysm is intracranial vessels (65%) followed by abdominal and then the peripheral vessels. We describe a case of 32 year old man with recently diagnosed rheumatic heart disease and mitral regurgitation. He had infective endocarditis (IE...

A 30-year-old female had an acute myocardial infarction complicated by congestive heart failure. Angiography demonstrated an aneurysm in the area of the left aortic sinus. The aneurysm compressed and displaced the main trunk of the left coronary artery and the proximal portion of the left anterior descending artery. This aneurysm was considered to be the cause of the infarction. Aortic valve re...

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm accounts for only 1% of congenital cardiac anomalies. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm can cause aortic insufficiency, coronary artery flow compromise, cardiac arrhythmia, or aneurysm rupture. A 44year-old male presented with a 3-month history of palpitation and exertional dyspnea. Cardiac auscultation revealed a grade III/VI ‘‘to and fro’’ murmur along the left sternal bor...

A false aneurysm of the right atrium is described. The false aneurysm appeared after open-heart surgery and was probably related to loosening of a right atrial suture. Because of the low pressure in the right atrium, the danger of rupture seemed to be low, and conservative therapy was chosen.

A 7-month-old female child was diagnosed to have a massive right atrial aneurysm, presented with arrhythmias. She was treated by restorative right atrioplasty without using cardiopulmonary bypass. She had good postoperative outcome and a 5-month follow-up remains uneventful. In the absence of major congenital heart defects, aneurysm of right atrium can be treated without using cardiopulmonary b...

Left ventricular (LV) thrombosis is a common complication of heart failure with reduced LV ejection fraction and can be source systemic embolism. The material presents the case 76-year-old woman history myocardial infarction, aneurysm, coronary bypass surgery, who was admitted to hospital ischemic vertebrobasilar stroke. One month prior present hospitalization, patient transient complete atriov...

The Annular Subvalvular Left Ventricular Aneurysm (ASLVA) is a rare entity, which occurs usually in young ethnic groups from Sub-Saharan Africa and South India. These aneurysms are situated immediately beneath the mitral and aortic valves and extend around in the substance of fibrous ring, from which valves arise. Their etiology is still obscure. Fifteen consecutive cases of ASLVA were treated ...

Atrioventricular block which caused death in a 6-month-old baby is reported. Necropsy examination revealed the only abnormality in the heart to be an aneurysm of the membranous septum. Histological examination of the conduction system showed fibrosis and attenuation of the bundle of His at the lower border of the aneurysm.
