Abstract
The patient is a 77-year-old man. He was referred to our hospital after a chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 6.5 cm-sized mass in the right lung apex. Bronchoscopy revealed adenocarcinoma, clinical stageⅡB, and the patient was referred for surgery. Preoperative 3D-CT revealed the presence of a displaced bronchus, probably B1a, branching from the right main bronchus centrally from the upper lobe bronchus, and an abnormal vessel (V2) running dorsal to the upper lobe bronchus and the right main bronchus, and returning directly to the left atrium. Surgery was performed by resectioning the right upper lobe through a posterolateral incision, combined resection of the wall pleura, and lymph node dissection (ND2a-2). Because lung cancer surgery is sometimes accompanied by abnormal bronchial and pulmonary vascular branches, it is essential to thoroughly examine the patient before surgery for checking abnormal branches by bronchoscopy and 3D-CT.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the safety, effectiveness, and persistence rates of 0.018-inch coils with those of Amplatzer vascular plugs (AVPs; Abbott Vascular, Abbott Park, Illinois) for the treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) in response to a growing concern that 0.018-inch coil embolization would increase the long-term persistence rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective, single-center study of a database (2002-2020) of 633 PAVM embolizations. Complex PAVMs and those not embolized with 0.018-inch coils or plugs were excluded. PAVM embolization material was classified into 4 groups: (a) 0.018-inch nonfibered coils (NFCs), (b) 0.018-inch fibered coils (FCs), (c) NFCs and FCs, or (d) plugs. Persistence was defined as flow through the PAVM on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or as <30% diameter reduction of the aneurysmal sac on unenhanced computed tomography (CT). Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression were used to assess PAVM's persistence-free survival. RESULTS A total of 312 PAVM embolizations with NFCs (43 PAVMs), FCs (127 PAVMs), NFCs and FCs (12 PAVMs), or plugs (130 PAVMs) in 109 patients (28% men; mean age = 49 years) were included. All PAVM embolizations were technically successful without any major adverse events. PAVM persistence-free survival rates at 10 years' follow-up were 40.8% versus 44.7% in the NFC and FC groups (P = .22) and 47.3% versus 81.0% in the 0.018-inch coil (NFC or FC) and plug groups (P < .0001), respectively. There were 0.43 (79/182) and 0.08 (10/130) re-embolization procedures per PAVM in the 0.018-inch coil and plug groups, respectively (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS PAVM embolization with 0.018-inch coils was safe, but persistence rate with PAVM embolization was significantly higher than that with plugs, with no significant differences between FCs and NFCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare disease, which can lead to the direct return of unoxidized venous blood to pulmonary veins and left heart, resulting in right-to-left shunt leading to hypoxia. Long term, the right-to-left shunt will cause severe pathophysiological changes in the patient's body and pulmonary circulation, and the prognosis will be poor if PAVF is not treated timely. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we report the case of a 71-year-old man who presented with chest tightness and shortness of breath. After a series of examinations, PAVF and giant hemangioma were diagnosed, which are difficult to operate.Transcatheter interventional therapy was initiated. The patient recovered on the third day after operation and was discharged smoothly. During the long-term follow-up of nearly 4 years after discharge, the general condition and quality of life of the patient basically returned to normal. CONCLUSIONS PAVF is rare but very important clinical problem. When the clinical manifestations of persistent unexplained hypoxia appear, it is necessary to fully consider the possibility of PAVF. Once the diagnosis of PAVF is clear, timely treatment is recommended to avoid deterioration of the disease and affecting the prognosis.

Abstract
Paradoxical embolism due to an isolated pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare cause of ischemic stroke. PAVMs are abnormal high-flow connections between pulmonary arteries and veins, diverting deoxygenated blood into the systemic circulation and they represent a less common source of paradoxical embolisms, especially in young individuals. Endovascular embolization is the preferred treatment for clinically significant PAVMs. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman with a left thalamic ischemic stroke. Severe contrast passage was detected in cerebral arteries through transcranial Doppler. Intracardiac ultrasound did not reveal a patent foramen ovale, prompting further investigation with pulmonary CT angiography, confirming the presence of PAVM. The patient underwent successful endovascular treatment. It is essential to consider PAVM in the etiological diagnosis of ischemic stroke, especially in young patients with signs of abnormal right-to-left communication. Periodic follow-up imaging is recommended to assess potential recurrence or changes in PAVM, emphasizing the importance of appropriate management of these malformations.

Abstract
Scimitar syndrome (SS) is a rare entity with an incidence of approximately 1-3 in 200 000 people. It is typically characterized by complete or partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage from the right lung into the systemic venous circulation, most commonly the inferior vena cava (IVC). For the first time, we report the diagnosis of SS in a fetus in utero using four-dimensional (4D) spatiotemporal image correlation combined with high-definition live flow rendering mode (STIC-HD live flow).

Abstract
This brief report describes safety, technical feasibility, and early treatment effectiveness of the low-profile braided occluder (LOBO; Okami Medical, San Diego, Caliornia) for embolization of 9 pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) in 4 patients (3 female and 1 male; age range: 33 to 63 years; 3 patients showed positive results for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia genes). A total of 10 occluders were deployed in 10 vessels (median treated vessel diameters, 3 and 4 mm for LOBO-3 and LOBO-5 groups, respectively). All devices were successfully deployed into the feeder pulmonary arteries, achieving complete cessation of flow. There were no severe adverse events or device migrations. Available short-term follow-up computed tomography (6 PAVMs: median, 7 months; range, 1.5-7 months) demonstrated complete occlusion without persistence or recanalization. The early experience of embolization of PAVMs using a low-profile braided occluder showed it to be safe and effective. Further studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up periods are warranted.

Abstract
The normal anatomical course of right upper lobe pulmonary vein involves drainage anteriorly to the pulmonary artery, ultimately reaching the left atrium. However, anomalies can occur with the most common variation involving the convergence of the right upper lobe pulmonary vein with the superior vena cava. In a rare pulmonary vascular malformation, the anomalous right upper lobe pulmonary vein takes a path between the right pulmonary artery and right main bronchus [1]. During a clinical consultation, a patient presented in our hospital with this specific anomalous right upper lobe pulmonary vein, along with an atrial septal defect and a patent ductus arteriosus. As a consequence of this aberrant positioning, the right upper lobe pulmonary vein was compressed between the pulmonary artery and trachea, leading to pulmonary vein obstruction. Thus, a successful pulmonary vein replantation was performed to correct the congenital malformation.

Abstract
The aetiology of cyanosis could be unclear in children, even for specialised paediatricians. Two cases were reported: first, a 6-year-old child with features of left isomerism and Fallot was fortuitously diagnosed with anomalous hepatic venous drainage before complete repair. Second, a newborn with an antenatal diagnosis of ductus venosus agenesis had an isolated intermittent right-to-left atrial shunt when upright, with favourable outcome, in contrast to the association with significant heart malformations including inferior caval vein interruption. Multimodality imaging and 3D printing helped to rule out extracardiac causes of persistent cyanosis and plan surgical repair.

Abstract
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) in children is a challenging condition with poor outcomes. Post-operative stenosis can occur after repair of anomalous pulmonary venous return (APVR) or stenosis within native veins. There is limited data on the outcomes of post-operative PVS. Our objective was to review our experience and assess surgical and transcatheter outcomes. Single-center retrospective study was performed including patients < 18 years who developed restenosis after baseline pulmonary vein surgery that required additional intervention(s) from 1/2005 to 1/2020. Non-invasive imaging, catheterization and surgical data were reviewed. We identified 46 patients with post-operative PVS with 11 (23.9%) patient deaths. Median age at index procedure was 7.2 months (range 1 month-10 years), and median follow-up was 10.8 months (range 1 day-13 years). Index procedure was surgical in 36 (78.3%) and transcatheter in 10 (21.7%). Twenty-three (50%) patients developed vein atresia. Mortality was not associated with number of affected veins, vein atresia, or procedure type. Single ventricle physiology, complex congenital heart disease (CCHD), and genetic disorders were associated with mortality. Survival rate was higher in APVR patients (p = 0.03). Patients with three or more interventions had a higher survival rate compared to patients with 1-2 interventions (p = 0.02). Male gender, necrotizing enterocolitis, and diffuse hypoplasia were associated with vein atresia. In post-operative PVS, mortality is associated with CCHD, single ventricle physiology, and genetic disorders. Vein atresia is associated with male gender, necrotizing enterocolitis, and diffuse hypoplasia. Multiple repeated interventions may offer a patient survival benefit; however, larger prospective studies are necessary to elucidate this relationship further.

Abstract
Total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) is encountered less frequently in infancy than various other congenital cardiac anomalies. We present a 4-week-old boy with a hitherto unreported variant of TAPVD who died suddenly soon after presentation to our emergency department. At autopsy, we found both pulmonary veins draining abnormally into the pulmonary artery and an atrial septal defect. We wish to emphasize that examination of the major vessels and their connections should be done in situ in all autopsies of unexpected deaths in infants and children, even if there were no symptoms and signs in the ante-mortem period and despite the clinical picture not being suggestive of TAPVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The modified L-shaped incision technique (MLIT) was successfully applied to the repair of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with promising mid-term outcomes. It is, however, unclear whether or not MLIT could be an alternative to sutureless technique (ST). METHODS All patients ( n =141) who underwent MLIT or ST repair for supracardiac TAPVC between June 2009 and June 2022 were included and a propensity score-matched analysis was performed to reduce the heterogeneity. RESULTS MLIT was performed in 80.9% (114/141), whereas ST was performed in 19.1% (27/141). Patients who underwent MLIT repair had a lower incidence of pulmonary veinous obstruction (PVO)-related reintervention (1.8 vs. 18.5%, P =0.002), and late mortality (2.6 vs. 18.2%, P =0.006). Overall survival at 10 years was 92.5% (87.7-97.7%) for MLIT and 66.8% (44.4-100%) for ST ( P =0.012). Freedom from postoperative PVO at 10 years was 89.1% (83.2-95.5%) for MLIT and 79.9% (65.6-97.4%) for ST ( P =0.12). Cox proportional hazards regression identified prolonged mechanical ventilation duration, postoperative PVO, respiratory dysfunction, and low cardiac output syndrome were associated with postoperative death and PVO-related reintervention. CONCLUSIONS The MLIT strategy is a safe, technologically feasible, and effective approach for supracardiac TAPVC, which is associated with more favorable and promising freedom from death and PVO-related reintervention.

Sinus venosus atrial septal defects present a wide variety of anatomical features and are frequently associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of one or more right pulmonary veins. Surgical correction used to be the standard treatment. In recent times, transcatheter correction of superior sinus venosus atrial septal defects has come into vogue. The transcatheter closure of these defects with covered stents at a tertiary care centre in Oman between 2018 and 2023 is reported.

Abstract
This review provides an update on the morphology of the sinus venosus defect. It was earlier believed that a 'common wall' separated the right pulmonary veins from the superior caval vein. In the sinus venosus defects, this wall was absent. Current evidence shows that the superior rim of the oval fossa, rather than forming a second septum or representing a common wall, is an infolding between the walls of the caval veins and the right pulmonary veins. The sinus venosus defect is caused by the anomalous connection of one or more pulmonary veins to a systemic vein. However, the pulmonary vein(s) retain their left atrial connections, leading to a veno-venous bridge that allows interatrial shunting outside the oval fossa. True atrial septal defects are located within the oval fossa or in the anteo-inferior buttress, while sinus venosus defects, ostium defects and coronary sinus defects are morphologically distinct from them.

Abstract
Superior sinus venosus defect is a communication between the right and left atrium located above the upper margin of the oval fossa, immediately inferior to the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium. It is systematically associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, especially of the right upper pulmonary vein. Surgical repair has been the gold standard approach to close that defect. Introduced in 2014, percutaneous closure has gradually become a safe and effective alternative to surgery in carefully selected patients, although worldwide experience remains limited. This article provides an appraisal of the patients' selection process and a step-by-step description of the procedure as well as a comprehensive review of its outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of total anomalous pulmonary venous connections has been extensively studied to further improve outcomes. Our institution previously reported factors associated with mortality, recurrent obstruction, and reintervention. The study purpose was to revisit the cohort of patients and evaluate factors associated with reintervention, and mortality in early and late follow-up. METHODS A retrospective review at our institution identified 81 patients undergoing total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair from January 2002 to January 2018. Demographic and operative variables were evaluated. Anastomotic reintervention (interventional or surgical) and/or mortality were primary endpoints. RESULTS Eighty-one patients met the study criteria. Follow-up ranged from 0 to 6,291 days (17.2 years), a mean of 1263 days (3.5 years). Surgical mortality was 16.1% and reintervention rates were 19.8%. In re-interventions performed, 80% occurred within 1.2 years, while 94% of mortalities were within 4.1 months. Increasing cardiopulmonary bypass times (p = 0.0001) and the presence of obstruction at the time of surgery (p = 0.025) were predictors of mortality, while intracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection type (p = 0.033) was protective. Risk of reintervention was higher with increasing cardiopulmonary bypass times (p = 0.015), single ventricle anatomy (p = 0.02), and a post-repair gradient >2 mmHg on transesophageal echocardiogram (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Evaluation of a larger cohort with longer follow-up demonstrated the relationship of anatomic complexity and symptoms at presentation to increased mortality risk after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair. The presence of a single ventricle or a post-operative confluence gradient >2 mmHg were risk factors for reintervention. These findings support those found in our initial study.
