Abstract:
:We report an 8-year-old female undergoing interventional catheterization for treatment of pulmonary artery stenoses, atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. Anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery was diagnosed during the procedure. We highlight the importance of recognizing this rare anomaly to avoid the risk of myocardial ischaemia consecutively to abrupt decrease of right ventricular pressure after dilation of pulmonary branches.

abstract::Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has without doubt been the most important advance in thoracic surgery. The general anesthesia before the tracheal intubation for VATS was often accompanied with tracheal mucosa and lung injuries, which were typically manifested as painful throat, nausea, vomiting, and other ...
