Left main trunk connecting to superior vena cava via aneurysmal coronary artery fistula

A 3-year-male child presented with an incidentally detected continuous murmur during evaluation for respiratory tract infection. Two-dimensional echocardiography ( Panel A ) showed an aneurysmally dilated left main coronary artery (CA) with the presence of large coronary cameral fistula originating from the …

Myriad manifestations of Williams syndrome.

4 months male child presented with failure to thrive. On general examination child had normal O2 saturation with characteristic elfin facies. Further evaluation of the patient showed major manifestations of Williams syndrome in form of supravalvar aortic stenosis, branched pulmonary artery stenosis along with cardiomyopathy. Although the entity is known, this article shows comprehensive diagnostic workup with the aid of multimodality imaging techniques. The genetic diagnosis of Williams syndrome was confirmed using fluroscent in situ hybridisation techniques (FISH). In this patient most of the manifestations of elastin vasculopathy were noted in the form of involvement of ascending aorta, pulmonary arteries and myocardium. We also want to emphasis the importance of echocardiography in newborn patients with dysmorphic facies as Williams syndrome can be easily missed in neonatal period.

Novel kissing catheter technique for foreign body retrieval

We report a novel technique ‘the kissing catheter technique’ for retrieval of a broken catheter fragment in a patient undergoing closure of a patent ductus arteriosus.
