At echocardiography a dysmorphic neonate was found to have a hypoplastic mitral valve, left ventricle, and ascending aorta with interruption of the aortic arch between the left common carotid and the left subclavian arteries--the left subclavian artery arose from a normal sized left descending aorta. Cardiac catheterisation and subsequent necropsy confirmed this arrangement but also showed a to...

We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with and without 22q11 deletion undergoing surgery for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collaterals between January 2004 and August 2009 at our institutions. Information was collected on collateral origin, arch sidedness, presence of central pulmonary arteries, and presence of an aberrant subclavian vesse...

We reported this case to remind neurologists that pulmonary right-to-left shunt is one of the causes paradoxical embolism. A 47-year-old woman was diagnosed with infarction cerebellum vermis by MRI. Atheromatous, immunological, infectious, and hypercoagulable abnormality negated. doubtful arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) accidentally found in process CT angiography subclavian arteries. Then, c...

Introduction: Aneurysmal degeneration in patients with chronic type B dissection is common, occurring 20% – 40% of cases, which 10% develop late rupture. Open surgery for these cases associated high morbidity and mortality. Endovascular alternatives include fenestrated or branched endografts, although the use devices may be complex. Treatment usually involves implantation a device true lumen ob...

Takayasu’s arteritis is a chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology that typically occurs in women. It affects the aorta and its main branches, leading to either arterial stenoses or aneurysms. Here we report a case of a 42-year-old woman presenting with loss of peripheral vision in her left eye. On ultrasound imaging, she had distinctive fi ndings of Takayasu’s arteritis with marked circumferenti...

Introduction- Thyroid gland is a highly vascular endocrine gland. The aim of our study to explore thyroid arteries escape eventual iatrogenic complications.
 Materials and Methods- Both sides neck total 60 adult embalmed cadavers were dissected in West Bengal (2020-2021).
 Results- We found Superior Arteries 100% cases originating from External Carotid Artery 77.5% cases, Bifurcation ...

Tortuous arteries are common clinical observation. Although mild tortuosity is asymptomatic, severe tortuosity can lead to ischemic attack in several organs. With advances in imaging technology, an increasing number of tortuous vessels have been detected. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of acute cerebral infarction due to tortuous subclavian artery and to review the literature.

WE READ WITH INTEREST THE PAPER OF Momma et al. concerning interruption of the aortic arch in association with deletion of chromosome 22qll . 1 In 6 of the 7 patients with this association the authors reported 'a complete deficiency of the muscular outlet septum with the defect extending to the perimembranous area'. Since the subarterial and doubly committed ventricular septal defect is prevale...

We report three cases of symptomatic stenosis of the great vessels or supra-aortic trunks successfully treated surgically with aorto-subclavian and aorto-innominate bypass. Two were performed via manubriotomy and a third case via standard median sternotomy because of concomitant coronary revascularisation. There was complete symptomatic relief on follow-up, and radiological imaging confirmed go...
