Introduction And Objectives: In patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS), radiofrequency-assisted perforation of the valve is the most widely used initial therapy when the anatomy is favorable. We report our experience with a modified mechanical technique that gave good results.
Methods: Between November 2001 and October 2006, valve opening was carried out successfully in 11 consecutive neonates with a favorable anatomy (i.
We report a patient who suffered an accidental complete amputation of the right forearm followed by a successful replantation and comment on the indications and management of macro-replantations of the upper limbs.

Stents implantation has served to improve the results and to reduce complications of balloon angioplasty for coarctation and recoarctation of the aorta. AIM: We report our results after primary stents implantation for coarctation and recoarctation of the aorta.
