  • Juvenile hypertrophy of the breast is a rare condition, leading to hyperplastic breast anomalies in adolescents. Here, we report a case involving a 15-year-old girl, presented with asymmetric enlargement of the left breast. Pronounced parenchymal thickening was found on initial ultrasonography (US). MRI and second-look US revealed a focal mass-like lesion on the left mid-lateral breast, confirmed as juvenile hypertrophy of the breast on pathology.

  • Neo-aortic insufficiency associated with root enlargement following an arterial switch operation is a serious late complication. To achieve successful surgical correction of this condition, multiple factors should be considered, including the individual patient's anatomy, the challenging nature of the redo procedure, and the patient's young age. However, limited publications have described the use of valve-sparing techniques for the treatment of neo-aortic insufficiency associated with root enlargement following an arterial switch operation. Herein, we report our recent experience of a valve-sparing aortic root procedure with ascending aorta and hemiarch replacement despite the presence of a discrepancy in leaflet size and nearby severe adhesions.

  • Surgical septal myectomy is the preferred treatment option for patients with medically intractable obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Extended transaortic septal myectomy is a widely performed surgical procedure for patients with subaortic obstruction. The transapical approach may provide an alternative surgical option in less common phenotypes, such as apical hypertrophy or long-segmental septal hypertrophy. In this report, we describe a case of a procedure performed to achieve left ventricular enlargement procedure using a combined transaortic and transapical dual approach in a patient with diffuse-type hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with apical aneurysm and mid-cavity obstruction.
