Partially unroofed coronary sinus in an infant with pulmonary vein stenosis: mixed blessing.

Transcatheter intervention on the pulmonary vein often requires performing transseptal puncture, which is a risky procedure. We describe a rare association of a partially unroofed coronary sinus with pulmonary vein stenosis causing desaturation in a young infant where the presence of the unroofed coronary sinus allowed for a novel interventional approach to the stenotic left pulmonary vein, avoiding the high risk of transseptal puncture.

Trends in surgical management of urachal anomalies.

Purpose: We have noted an increasing frequency of diagnosed urachal anomalies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate this increase, as well as the outcomes of management at our institution over 10 years.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of urachal anomalies at our institution was performed.
