    Abstract Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare disease in which a non-functional region of pulmonary tissue receives an aberrant vascular supply and lacks normal communication with the tracheobronchial tree. We present the case of a 30-year-old female with a primary complaint of unexplained weight loss and no other additional signs or symptoms. In view of this, computed tomography imaging was ordered, showing a 33HU mass in the right upper lobe. A specialist radiologist reviewed the images and concluded that the most likely differentials were mediastinal lymphoma or thymic malignancy. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed, when it was seen that no malignancy was present, but rather a bronchopulmonary sequestration. Histology confirmed the diagnosis; the patient fared well post-operatively. Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare pathology, with most cases occurring in the lower lung lobes. This case is highly atypical, due to the lack of clinical features and the lesion radiologically mimicking the appearance of malignancy.

    Abstract Intramural Hematoma (IMH) forms part of the acute aortic syndrome, aortic dissection, and penetrating aortic ulcer. It is a life-threatening aortic disease that warrants prompt diagnosis and management. Like aortic dissections, it is classified using the Stanford classification system as type A (proximal to the origin of the left subclavian artery) and type B (distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery). Patients with type A IMH is generally managed surgically, and uncomplicated type B IMH is managed medically. The right subclavian artery arises typically from the brachiocephalic trunk. Aberrant right subclavian arteries (ARSA) are rare and derive directly from the aortic arch distal to the left subclavian artery. In this case report, a 73-year-old female presented with right-sided chest pain and shortness of breath. On examination, her heart rate was 100 bpm and blood Pressure was 185/85 and her ECG showed sinus rhythm. Following a CT scan, she was found to have a type B Aortic IMH with an ARSA. She was medically managed with vigorous blood pressure control. After a period of intravenous blood pressure treatment, she was treated with oral medication. Her subsequent CT scan showed that the hematoma was stable. She was followed up with MRI scanning 1 year later, which showed complete healing of the aorta with no changes in diameter. This case illustrates the importance of strict blood pressure management and follow-up imaging in patients presenting with type B IMH. It is important to monitor these patients regularly and where blood pressure control alone is not sufficient, further intervention may be required. Even though the complete resolution may be achieved as in this case, these patients will need to be kept under surveillance with repeated scans to monitor for any changes.

    Abstract Iatrogenic aortic dissection post primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is rare but yet a serious complication. In this report, we present a case of a 40-year-old lady who had an aortic dissection post PCI which was initially missed by the conventional contrast images and required a gated computerized tomography aortogram to confirm the diagnosis. The patient was managed with strict blood pressure control resulting in complete healing of the dissection after 72 hours of the management. The case illustrates the importance of selecting the correct imaging to make an accurate diagnosis when aortic dissection is suspected and outlines the importance of blood pressure control in treating iatrogenic aortic dissections.

    Abstract The ability to provide antegrade cerebral and systemic perfusion simultaneously may negate the requirement for any prolonged period of circulatory arrest during complex aortic arch reconstruction procedures, depending on the cannulation strategy. We describe the development and successful implementation of a custom 'split arterial line' extracorporeal circuit configuration to facilitate complex aortic surgery. This circuit design offers a wide range of cannulation and perfusion strategies, is safe, adaptable, simple to manage, and avoids the use of roller pumps for blood delivery, which are associated with deleterious haematological complications during prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass cases. The split arterial line approach has now become the standardised methodology for facilitating complex aortic surgery at our institution.

    Abstract We report a rare case of acute right coronary artery stenosis developing in a patient undergoing aortic valve replacement. We present a case report with a brief overview of the literature relating to coronary artery occlusion associated with cardiac valve surgery - the theories and treatments are discussed. A 85 year-old female was admitted under the care of the cardiothoracic team with signs and symptoms of heart failure. Investigations, including cardiac echocardiography and coronary angiography, indicated a critical aortic valve stenosis. Intraoperative right ventricular failure ensued post aortic valve replacement. Subsequent investigations revealed an acute occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery with resultant absence of distal flow supplying the right ventricle. An immediate right coronary artery bypass procedure was performed with resolution of the right ventricular failure. Subsequent weaning off cardiopulmonary bypass was uneventful and the patient continued to make excellent recovery in the postoperative phase. To our knowledge this is one of the few documented cases of intraoperative acute coronary artery occlusion developing during valve surgery. However, surgeons should be aware of the potential for acute occlusion so that early recognition and rapid intervention can be instituted.

    Abstract A multitude of vascular conduits are available to the Cardiac Surgeon performing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft operations. The Internal Mammary Artery, Radial Artery (RA), and the Long Saphenous Vein (LSV) have proven to be excellent conduits, especially in the current era of statin usage. However, previous stripping or varicosities of the LSV and calcification of the RA, coupled with the need for multiple vessel grafting, requires an alternative candidate. We describe a novel harvesting technique for bilateral simultaneous Short Saphenous Vein harvest and propose this, often forgotten vein, as a viable alternative conduit.

    Abstract Spontaneous diaphragmatic injuries are rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all diaphragmatic injuries. We report a case of a 69-year-old male with a concurrent lower respiratory tract infection who sustained diaphragmatic and intercostal muscle injuries after an episode of violent sneezing. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of spontaneous diaphragmatic injury after sneezing.

    Abstract Introduction: Whilst the incidence of CAA has been reported as up to 5%, giant CAA (>2cm) is rare.
    Presentation of case: We present a rare case of 3cm×4cm giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in the context of aorto-iliac aneurysmal disease, treated by staged open surgical repair.
    Discussion: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and CAA share risk factors and aetiological mechanisms, therefore should be considered, particularly when CAA is diagnosed in the first instance.
    Conclusions: Surgical intervention for diagnosed giant CAA appears to be the treatment of choice in the reported literature, with the order of intervention when AAA co-exists remaining a point for debate.
