  ABSTRACT: Open surgical repair of complex aortic pathologies using cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest still carries a substantial rate of mortality and morbidity. Endovascular stent-graft placement has developed as a safe and effective treatment modality for various diseases of the aorta. We report on the case of a 65-year-old female presenting with symptomatic type B aortic dissection with aneurysm of the ascending aorta and the aortic root. The patient was treated with a flanged composite graft custom made from a branched 24-mm Dacron graft for entire prosthetic transposition of the supra-aortic branches. Metachronously, the patient underwent endovascular stent-grafting of the descending aorta. She was discharged free of complications on day 10.

  ABSTRACT: We present the case of a 12-year-old girl with familial hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease. She underwent triple-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting with bilateral pedicled internal mammary artery grafting without adverse events. Pediatric patients with familial hypercholesterolemia may present with premature coronary atherosclerosis requiring coronary artery bypass grafting. In situ internal mammary artery grafts should be the graft of choice.

  Article: Recurrent apical cardiac hydatid cyst presenting with angina.

  ABSTRACT: Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by the larvae of tapeworm Echinococcus Granulosus. Hydatid cyst of the heart is an uncommon presentation of human echinococcosis which may lead to life-threatening conditions. We present a rare case of recurrent pericardial cyst in a 42-year-old man presenting with chest pain and ECG findings. We were able to avoid risks of resternotomy with a limited anterolateral thoracotomy. A direct enucleation of the cyst was possible without the need for cardiopulmonary bypass. He was free of complications at 6-month follow-up. Diagnosis should be suspected in every case of anginal symptoms or cyst-like mass in persons coming from areas where echinococcus granulosus is endemic.
