Echocardiographic evaluation of anomalous pulmonary venous connection (APVC) may be difficult especially in patients with complex congenital heart diseases. Angiography may also be hazardous in sick patients. For this reason, sometimes we need noninvasive and highly demonstrative procedures for the diagnosis and management of APVC. We have presented a patient, operated with the diagnosis of partial APVC to the azygous vein. In this patient the diagnosis was suspected by echocardiography and confirmed by using three-dimensional computed tomography with angiography.
Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis syndrome of unknown etiology that mainly affects small and medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. This disease is rarely seen in infants and young people in Turkey. In this short report, we present a four-year-old patient who has Kawasaki disease associated with coronary artery aneurysm and underwent coronary bypass grafting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
