Anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries is a congenital cardiac malformation in which the atria and ventricles are in concordant relation, as are the ventricles and great arteries, but the aorta is to the left of the pulmonary artery (1-position). The reported cases and our two patients have had situs solitus of viscera and atria. The aortic and pulmonary circulations are in se...

In the last article [1], we grouped complex congenital cardiac defects into four subgroups with the rules of cardiac segmental coding [2]. Recently, we found some incongruities presented in these categories, so a newly revised edition (Table 1) to correct the concept is mandatory for the many readers. There are no changes in the group of atrioventricular (AV) and ventricular-arterial (V-A) conc...

Percutaneous endoscopic-guided gastrostomy (PEG) is done routinely on patients who suffer from inability to feed by mouth. PEG is generally considered a safe procedure with a low complication rate. A commonly underreported complication of PEG is malposition. This manuscript is a guideline to diagnosis and management of PEG malposition. We describe the different types of malposition, their diagn...

BACKGROUND Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are used widely in patients with cancer, but catheter malposition often occurs. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to provide a reference for clinically safe catheterization through multifactor analysis of malposition of PICCs in patients with cancer. METHODS The occurrence of PICC malposition in patients with cancer was retrospectively re...

The aim of this study was to investigate peritoneal dialysis catheter malposition following low-position modified peritoneal dialysis catheterization and its clinical application value. A total of 48 patients receiving traditional peritoneal dialysis catheterization (the traditional group) and 95 patients receiving right low-position modified peritoneal dialysis catheterization (the modified gr...

Anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (ACMGA) is a rare form congenital heart disease. This abnormality belongs to conotruncal anomalies. ACMGA an anomaly in which aorta arises from left ventricle and pulmonary artery right but are located parallel relationships. Therefore, diagnosis this disease complicated due frequent diagnostic errors.
 The aim. To share our experien...

Acute aortic dissection is a cardiac emergency which can present as inferior myocardial infarction. It has high morbidity and mortality requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. Rapid advances in non-invasive imaging have facilitated the early diagnosis of this condition and in ruling out this potentially catastrophic illness. We report an interesting case of a 57-year old man who presented wit...

Pacemaker lead malposition in various locations has been described in the literature. Lead malposition in left ventricle is a rare and an underdiagnosed complication. We present a 77-year-old man with history of atrial fibrillation and pacemaker placement who was admitted for transient ischemic attack. He was on aspirin, beta blocker, and warfarin with subtherapeutic international normalized ra...

Nipple-areolar complex (NAC) malposition is one of the most common complications following nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant-based reconstruction. To maximize perfusion to the NAC, traditional methods of correcting NAC malposition limit undermining below the NAC. We demonstrate a series of cases in which improvement of NAC malposition was safely performed by reelevating the NAC and mastect...
