This case report discusses the second reported case of coarctation in a right aortic arch with an aberrant left brachiocephalic artery
Abstract:
This is the second reported case of coarctation in a right aortic arch with an aberrant left brachiocephalic artery. In this patient, the right subclavian artery is aneurysmal, making this case unique. There is a pressure gradient of 34 mm Hg between ascending and descending aorta. Both the conventional and computed tomography angiographic images are presented. This is the first more...

This case report discusses the anterior mitral leaflet reconstruction with pericardium in a 1.9 kg infant with endocarditis
Abstract:
A premature twin of 1.9 kg had mitral valve endocarditis develop during neonatal intensive care. Vegetation involving the entire anterior mitral valve leaflet was identified. Reconstruction was achieved by near complete resection of the anterior mitral valve leaflet and retention of the peripheral margin of coaptation including primary and secondary chordae. The body of the anterior more...

Abstract:
The diagnosis of a vascular ring can be made on the basis of characteristic findings on barium esophagography. We report a case of a double aortic arch in a 9-month-old girl that was diagnosed in this manner, and we briefly review the anatomic characteristics of vascular rings. more...

This case reports a 2-month-old girl with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, multiple aorto-pulmonary collaterals with severely hypoplastic pulmonary arteries
Abstract:
Traditionally, the implantation of stents in young children with small blood vessels has been avoided as the presence of a metallic or fixed stent structure limits the ability to further dilate the stent with vessel growth. Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and hypoplastic pulmonary arteries represents one such cohort where the placement of fixed nondegradable stents has more...

This case report discusses bilateral pulmonary vein stenosis in a 5-year-old boy
Abstract:
We describe bilateral pulmonary vein stenosis in a 5-year-old boy. He initially presented with haemoptysis secondary to left upper lobe pulmonary vein atresia and left lower lobe stenosis and subsequently he underwent left-sided pneumonectomy. He underwent repeat cardiac catheterizations with repeated balloon angioplasty of the right-sided venous stenoses using a cutting balloon. more...

This case report discuss giant left atrial appendage with a common ventricular-appendicular wall and an abnormal course of the circumflex coronary artery in an asymptomatic 18-month-old girl
Abstract:
We present a congenital giant left atrial appendage in an asymptomatic 18-month-old girl featuring two morphological aspects not yet described, namely, a common wall between the giant left atrial appendage and the left ventricle and an abnormal course of the circumflex coronary artery across the surface of the grossly dilated left atrial appendage which prohibited its radical resection. more...

This case report discusses an asymptomatic 18-month-old boy who underwent surgical resection of the discrete subaortic stenosis with Incidental detection of parvovirus myocarditis at time of resection of discrete subaortic stenosis
Abstract:
We report an asymptomatic 18-month-old boy who underwent surgical resection of the discrete subaortic stenosis. Histopathologic examination of the muscle demonstrated diffuse lymphocytic infiltration of the myocardium. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of blood demonstrated parvovirus. This report highlights that asymptomatic myocarditis may be more prevalent than we realise, and that more...

These case reports discuss 2 cases of the left atrial appendage rarely mimicking a posterior mitral valve leaflet vegetation, leading to an erroneous diagnosis of infective endocarditis
Abstract:
Infective endocarditis is emerging as a significant cause of morbidity in the neonatal intensive care with an incidence ranging from 0.07 to 4.3%. The rise in incidence may be explained by the increasing availability of echocardiography facilities in the neonatal unit. The diagnosis of infective endocarditis has major therapeutic implications as the neonate is treated with potentially more...

This case report discusses a 2-week-old female who infant presented with acute decompensated left ventricular failure
Abstract:
A 2-week-old female infant presented with acute decompensated left ventricular failure. Echocardiography diagnosed left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy with dilated phenotype and a left ventricular shortening fraction <10%. The infant was mechanically ventilated for 2 weeks and then successfully extubated. She was maintained on intravenous milrinone for 6 months until she more...

This case report discusses how effectively high-frequency ultrasound can identify an aortic saddle embolus in a 7-month-old infant, and to demonstrate its usefulness in monitoring the efficacy of treatment
Abstract:
There are few reports in the literature on the ultrasound appearance of aortic saddle embolus, and none relating to small children. This unusual condition is usually diagnosed angiographically. The purpose of this report is to show how effectively high-frequency ultrasound can identify a saddle embolus with its associated collateral circulation in a young child, and to demonstrate its more...

This report describes a female infant with a rare chromosome defect, del. 12 (q22-24.1), who has severe pulmonary valve stenosis, an atrial septal defect, and a small muscular ventricular septal defect. At 4 months of age a balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. During the procedure, a large aberrant artery from the aorta to a more...

This case report discusses a case of multiple ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement procedures and a diagnostic dilemma with respect to distal shunt placement
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure has been associated with absorption failure secondary to previous peritonitis. This assumption has caused surgeons to seek alternate sites for distal catheter placement. We propose that the absorptive potential of the peritoneal cavity should be assessed before that site is discounted for catheter placement. CLINICAL more...

The distributions and appearances of these naevi resemble the distinctive periorbital pigmentation of the panda. The possible embryological origin of this naevus and an approach to management are discussed. more...

These case reports discuss coarctation of the aorta. The second case was a fifth time reoperation in a 12-year-old girl with recurrent coarctating
Abstract:
Two varied cases of coarctation of the aorta are described, in which transpericardial ascending to descending thoracic aortic conduits were routed around the right atrium, utilizing deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The approach was through a median sternotomy in two patients. The first case is a 52-year-old female who underwent combined aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis more...

This case report discusses an 11-year-old child who presented with a traumatic aortic transaction
Abstract:
We describe an 11-year-old child who presented with a traumatic aortic transection. This is an extremely rare occurrence in this age group. In managing the injury the future growth of the child must be considered. Primary repair is ideal when possible, but in choosing a graft, the choice of size and material should take cognisance of the risk of a coarctation-like syndrome in the future. more...
