AbstractIsolated ventricular inversion with situs solitus is a severe and rare congenital cardiac malformation characterised by an atrioventricular discordance but with ventriculo-arterial concordance. Here, we present the rare case of an adolescent with isolated ventricular inversion and hypoplasia of the left-sided morphological right ventricle and pulmonary stenosis, a first of its kind to be reported in the literature.

Difficult coronary sinus (CS) anatomy may lead to difficulty in optimal left ventricular (LV) lead placement and lead displacements leading to nonresponse to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

Neonates with pulmonary atresia survive only if duct patency is maintained before staged surgical repair. Ductal stenting is an effective alternative to conventional shunt surgery, as it avoids thoracotomy. With today's generation of coronary stents having better profile, flexibility, and trackability, it may be achieved safely, with less difficulty than previously described. The strategy during patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting with trifurcation narrowing is a real challenge. We present an underweight newborn with ventricular septal defect pulmonary atresia, restrictive PDA, and bilateral branch stenosis at the ostia. We performed a successful PDA stenting as well as addressed the ostia of branch pulmonary arteries.

Truncus arteriosus (common arterial trunk) is known to be associated with interrupted aortic arch in 10% to 15% of cases. However, the association of either of these lesions with a hypoplastic left ventricle is rare. The combination of all three of these lesions along with an intact interventricular septum is virtually unknown with only two cases reported in the literature. We report such a case with its anatomical and surgical management aspects.
