Introduction Congenital coronary artery anomalies are uncommon but clinically significant conditions that may present across a broad spectrum, ranging from incidental findings to myocardial ischemia, ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure (HF), and sudden cardiac death (SCD). In adults, anomalous coronary origins may be particularly challenging to recognize because symptoms are often nonspecific and may overlap with more prevalent causes of chest pain, dyspnea, or palpitations. In rare cases, a coronary artery may originate from the pulmonary arterial circulation, resulting in myocardial […]

Introduction Ebstein’s anomaly is a complex congenital heart disease that occurs in one out of every 200,000 live births. Its association with left-sided obstructive lesions is rare and poses significant challenges for both clinical and surgical management. In this case report, we present a newborn patient with Ebstein’s anomaly associated with supravalvular mitral stenosis and coarctation of the aorta (CoA), who underwent cardiac catheterization for the implantation of a post-dilatable stent in the aortic isthmus via the carotid approach. […]

Abstract Introduction Due to its prevalence and gravity, coronary diseases require a more definite and early sort of diagnosis. Thus, there is extreme urgency in identifying patients under the risk of such problem. The most important indicator of risk is a previous manifestation of atherosclerosis itself. In this context, the study of subclinical atherosclerosis may bring to light essential information. Objective To evaluate if there is any connection between carotid and coronary alterations; if the absence of atherosclerosis in the […]
