Adult and late adolescent complications of pediatric solid organ transplantation.

Background: There have been over 51 000 pediatric solid organ transplants since 1988 in the United States alone, leading to a growing population of long-term survivors who face complications of childhood organ failure and long-term immunosuppression.

Aims: This is an educational review of existing literature.

Results: Pediatric solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for risk for cardiovascular and kidney disease, skin cancers, and growth problems, though the severity of impact may vary by organ type.

Case report: A novel combination of anomalies in a patient with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

A frequently occurring genetic disorder, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome can manifest with various abnormalities. The range of cardiac anomalies associated with this syndrome is extensive, with conotruncal defects being the most prevalent.

Common Arterial Trunk Coexisting With Double-Barreled Aorta.

This case describes the first example of a double-barreled aorta in the setting of a common arterial trunk. Our use of annotated and segmented 3-dimensional models greatly enhanced our ability to elucidate the complex anatomy. ().

Two-staged surgical repair of Berry syndrome type 2B.

Berry syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease that requires complete corrective surgery. In certain extreme cases, such as ours, a two-stage as opposed to single-stage repair is a possibility. In doing so, we also used annotated and segmented three-dimensional models for the first time in Berry syndrome, adding to growing evidence that such models enhance the understanding of complex anatomy for surgical planning.
