Published: June 2024

Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) and pulmonary artery dissection (PAD) are rare and potentially fatal conditions that may lead to pulmonary artery (PA) rupture and cardiac tamponade. PAA is often associated with other cardiac and congenital heart diseases, such as atrial septal defect (ASD). We report a case of a patient with ASD and a giant dissecting PAA who underwent surgical repair to prevent potentially fatal outcome and discuss the probable etiologies of this case. We present a rare case of a 50-year-old woman with a secundum ASD and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who developed a giant PAA of 114 mm with dissection. The PAA caused extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA), which was misdiagnosed as coronary artery disease (CAD) at local hospital. Right heart catheterization revealed PAH of 73 mmHg and she was referred to our center for further treatment. After 4 months of lowering PAH treatment, she underwent successful surgical repair of the PAA to release the compression of LMCA, as well as mechanical valve replacement, fenestrated ASD closure and tricuspid valvuloplasty. She had an uneventful recovery and showed significant improvement in pulmonary hemodynamics and clinical symptoms at one-year follow-up. PAA with dissection is a rare complication of ASD and PAH that can potentially be fatal. Patients with large or symptomatic PAA and PAD may require early surgical intervention, particularly if they experience compression of nearby structures or are at risk of rupture. It is crucial to promptly refer and consult with specialists and ensure optimal preoperative hemodynamic management to enhance patient outcomes.

Anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is a rare anomaly, comprising approximately 0.1% of all congenital heart diseases. Patients suffered congestive heart failure in infancy, and some patients will experience progressive pulmonary vascular disease without surgical repair. In patients of this disease, early surgical intervention is generally advised and has demonstrated a high level of safety and efficacy, yielding excellent outcomes. We report a unique case involving a 10-day-old boy, characterized by the rare anomalous origination of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta. This case is further complicated by the presence of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and a right descending aorta. The ligation of the PDA and reimplantation of the right pulmonary artery (RPA) were successfully performed. The patient exhibited a favorable recovery trajectory postoperatively.

Computer vision systems play a major role in many areas of life, as reliance has clearly begun on these systems in the medical field, where they help doctors diagnose diseases correctly. In addition, they are relied upon in the sports field, where they can help referees in giving correct arbitration decisions. The accuracy of computer vision systems has increased with the emergence of deep learning techniques, which require a large amount of data on which a deep learning model can be trained. Therefore, if any deep learning model is relied upon to detect and distinguish any movement or any entity within images or video clips, it must first Training this model on a set of images of these movements or objects to be discovered and distinguished. From this standpoint, this article presents the construction of a database for one of the important games, the gymnastics game, which is popular in many countries. A database has been built for the gymnastics game, which can be used in the application. Deep learning models were developed in order to help coaches and referees in this game, and for these movements there is no database available on the Internet. A group of video clips spread on the Internet was relied upon to build this base, where ten basic movements in the game of gymnastics were distinguished, and one of the models was evaluated.
