يعد شذوذ منشأ الشريان الإكليلي الأيسر من الشريان الرئوي تشوهاً ولادياً نادراً. غالباً ما يتظاهر في مرحلة الرضاعة بأعراض نقص التروية القلبية أو قصور القلب، و قد يشتبه مع حالات شائعة في الطفولة مثل القولنج المعوي أو القلس المريئي أو التهاب القصيبات. يكون الإنذار جيداً في حال الإصلاح الجراحي الباكر. نقدم في هذا التقرير حالة غير اعتيادية لطفلة بعمر 5 سنوات لديها شذوذ في منشأ الشريان الإكليلي الأيسر من الشريان الرئوي تظاهر لديها بألم صدري و زلة تنفسية و خفقان تُثار بالجهد. أظهر التصوير بالإيكو القلبي عبر جدار الصدر و التصوير الشرياني الإكليلي المنشأ الشاذ للشريان الإكليلي الأيسر مع وجود قصور في الصمام التاجي. خضعت الطفلة لتكنيك جراحي ناجح تضمن استخدام الشريان الصدري (الثديي) الباطن في إعادة تروية الشريان الإكليلي الأيسر الرئيسي، و يعد هذا الإجراء الأول من نوعه لدى الأطفال. تم بذلك الحصول على نتائج جراحية ممتازة و تخرجت المريضة في المشفى دون شكايات.
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. It presents predominantly in infancy with features of myocardial ischemia or cardiac failure and may be mistaken for common pediatric conditions such as colic, reflux or bronchiolitis. With early surgical correction the prognosis is good. In this report we present unusual case of a 5-year-old female with an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) presenting with chest pain,dyspnea and palpitation during physical exertion.Trans-thoracic echocardiography and coronary angiography revealed an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery with mitral regurgitation . She subsequently underwent successful surgical technique where the left internal thoracic(mammary) artery was used to revascularise the left main coronary artery which is considered as the first unique procedure in children. Excellent surgical results were obtained and the patient was discharged from the hospital without complaints.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an infrequent and often missed diagnosis among patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Unfortunately, SCAD can result in significant morbidities such as myocardial ischemia and infarcti
on, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Lack of angiographic recognition from clinicians is a major factor of under-diagnosis. With the advent of new imaging modalities, particularly with intracoronary imaging, there has been improved diagnosis of SCAD. The aim of this paper is to review the epidemiology, etiology, presentation, diagnosis and management of SCAD.
Coarctation represents 5-8% of congenital heart disease.We present here a
study which aimed to assess the results of this malformation correction by using left subclavian artery
flap aortoplasty technique(Waldhausen) and compare these results with those of other surgical options.
Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm (ECAA) is extremely rare, accounting for only 0.4-4% of all
peripheral artery aneurysms. Sir Astley Cooper is credited with the first successful operation for ECAA in
1808.
These aneurysms are of interest becau
se they have diverse etiologies and present diagnostic and
therapeutic challenges. The symptoms of ECAAs vary according to their location, size, and etiology. The
presentation of such aneurysms may vary from an asymptomatic mass in the neck to the development of a
permanent neurological deficit as a consequence of micro emboli arising from within the aneurysmal sac.
Although most carotid artery aneurysms are caused by atherosclerosis, other common causes include
trauma and infection.
Carotid artery aneurysms are usually diagnosed by means of ultrasonographic scanning. Additional
diagnostic testing -by computed tomographic angiography, or magnetic resonance imaging- can lead to
more accurate information on the aneurysm’s size and its relationship to surrounding structures.
We herein report an extra cranial carotid artery aneurysm detected in a 46 years old patient with
complaint of neurologic Symptoms. Because aneurysm located in the distal ICA, the treatment involved
stent graft deployment. There has been no complications noted during the 10 months follow up after
treatment.
In conclusion, Extra Cranial Carotid Artery Aneurysm is a rare condition and has high rate of
complication with conservative approach.
Atherosclerosis and infectious diseases are the most common cause. Ultrasonography, computerized
tomography, and arteriography are used to make the diagnosis and treatment is achieved by
surgery or percutaneous techniques.
We herein report a SMA a
neurysm detected in a 39 years old patient with complaint of abdominal pain.
The surgical treatment involved the aneurysm ligation and revascularization with greater saphenous vein
interposition graft.
Heart disease, particularly coronary artery disease is a major cause of
morbidity and mortality among patients with diabetes mellitus .
In addition to the increased clinical incidence of coronary artery disease ,
the extent of coronary arteries st
enosed is also greater among diabetics .
T his study showes that diabetics, compared to non-diabetics ,have a higher
incidence of multiple vessel disease (٨٤٪ vs ٤٨٪) and lower incidence of one
vessel disease .
It also showes that left ventricular function and left ventricular wall
movement are more impaired in diabetics .
