BACKGROUND: Prenatal diagnosis of Berry syndrome, a rare combination of cardiac anomalies including aortopulmonary window (APW), aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery (RPA), interrupted aortic arch (IAA), hypoplastic aortic arch, or coarctation of the aorta (COA), poses a significant challenge. Due to the rarity of the disease, and the limited case reports available to features the complex malformation of Berry syndrome postpartum, this article introduces an innovative approach to visually showcase this unusual disease...

BACKGROUND An aortopulmonary window (APW) is an uncommon congenital defect of the septation between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk. The combination of APW and interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is even rarer, with the hallmark characteristics of high peri-operative mortality and postoperative obstruction of the aortic arch, pulmonary artery, and left main bronchus. These complications often need re-interventions. CASE REPORT We present 2 cases with diagnoses of APW and IAA that were treated with single-stage repair...

BACKGROUND: Cantu syndrome is a rare and complex multisystem disorder characterized by hypertrichosis, facial dysmorphism, osteochondroplasia and cardiac abnormalities. With only 150 cases reported worldwide, Cantu syndrome is now gaining wider recognition due to molecular testing and a growing body of literature that further characterizes the syndrome and some of its most important features. Cardiovascular pathology previously described in the literature include cardiomegaly, pericardial effusion, vascular dilation and tortuosity, and other congenital heart defects...

An aortopulmonary window (APW) is a communication between the main pulmonary artery (MPA) and the ascending aorta in the presence of two separate semilunar valves. Surgical strategies described for the management of APW include ligation, division and suturing, patch closure of APW (transaortic or transpulmonary or transwindow), and device closure. Ligation of a type-2 APW can result in stenosis or complete closure of the right pulmonary artery (RPA) off the MPA, while leaving the aorta still opening into the RPA...

A 4-year-old female was diagnosed with Type II Aortopulmonary window after being seen for a murmur. By utilizing multimodality advanced imaging, including 2D and 3D echo, computed tomography (CTA) with semi-transparent overlay as a road map, we were able to preoperatively plan camera angles and device selection as well as close the defect percutaneously under echocardiography guidance. This report highlights the importance of a multimodality imaging approach to interventional procedures.

The term "aortopulmonary window" (APW), often referred to as "aortopulmonary septal defect," refers to a rare congenital medical disorder where there is an improper direct link between the main pulmonary artery and the ascending aorta. It can be combined with other cardiac congenital conditions or be an isolated lesion. Herein, we report the incidental discovery of a minor, restrictive aortopulmonary septal defect in a 60-year-old male who denied having any clinical symptoms. Incidentally detected APW in adulthood is uncommon and, hence, can be readily overlooked, a fortiori, in asymptomatic patients...

We present the case of a 78-year-old female undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) because of suspected chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). During surgery firm black masses were encountered in the aortopulmonary window and on the cranial part of the right pulmonary artery (PA). After PA arteriotomy we visualized intraluminal black firm stenosing plaques at the orifices of the three right and of the left lingular and lower lobar branches. Since no dissection plane could be obtained the procedure was discontinued...

BACKGROUND: Aortopulmonary window (APW) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by communication between the main pulmonary artery and ascending aorta. There are various surgical techniques, and the short- and long-term results are excellent if the surgical repair is performed early in life. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of pseudoaneurysm after APW repair. Herein, we present a case of a 30-year-old woman with an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm found at the site of APW repair nine months after the APW repair and bilateral lung transplantation...

Congenital mitral stenosis is a broad-spectrum pathology in which blood flow to the left ventricle is obstructed both functionally and anatomically. Hammock mitral valve, also known as anomalous mitral arcade, is a rare congenital anomaly particularly in infants and children. Hammock mitral valve may not be suitable for repair regarding the advanced dysplastic mitral valve structure. Aortopulmonary window is an unusual cardiac anomaly which is defined as a communication between the main pulmonary artery and the ascending aorta...

UNLABELLED: Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a very rare condition, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 200,000 population, which is commonly associated with various cardiovascular anomalies or can occur in an isolated manner. Isolated cases survive to adulthood and remain asymptomatic, but they may frequently experience hemoptysis, repeated infections, or symptoms like dyspnea and chest pain. Due to the rarity of the disorder and its ambiguous appearance, diagnosis can be very challenging...

Berry syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease that requires complete corrective surgery. In certain extreme cases, such as ours, a two-stage as opposed to single-stage repair is a possibility. In doing so, we also used annotated and segmented three-dimensional models for the first time in Berry syndrome, adding to growing evidence that such models enhance the understanding of complex anatomy for surgical planning.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common cause of hypercalcaemia and is caused by a single parathyroid adenoma in the neck in 85% or more of patients. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines published in May 2019 advise that preoperative imaging is offered prior to parathyroid surgery for PHPT if it will inform surgical approach. If imaging, typically a neck ultrasound and a second modality that may use ionising radiation, does not identify the adenoma or is discordant, it is advised that surgery is performed by a surgeon with expertise in the management of unlocalised parathyroid disease...
