    Anomalies are common in medicine and are encountered daily. ( 1 ) Some anomalies are congenital and are discovered at a young age (especially if they are symptomatic), while others are discovered by chance as an accidental finding. Congenital heart and large blood vessel anomalies occur in 1 in 120 live births and occur during the first 10 weeks of embryonic development. The precise cause is frequently unknown, and it is worthwhile to consider chromosome abnormalities, various genetic syndromes, maternal diseases, external factors, or a combination of these. Acquired anomalies are frequently unpleasant surprises that occur as a side effect of treating or overcoming various diseases. Acquired anomalies occur as a side effect of treating or overcoming various diseases and are frequently an unwelcome surprise during the healing process. The lecture’s goal is to present anomalies in the invasive treatment process that are rarely seen.
