Adult survivor with repaired complete pentalogy of Cantrell.

Pentalogy of Cantrell is a very rare condition with very high mortality. We present an adult survivor with a classic pentad who underwent sequential surgical repairs as a neonate, child, and young adult. He required home mechanical ventilation for the first two years of life and subsequently needed noninvasive nocturnal ventilation as an adult.

Thyroid abnormalities in infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma.

We report an infant with hepatic hemangioendothelioma (HAE) associated with compensated hypothyroidism. The hepatic lesions regressed with steroid therapy and his thyroid function normalized with high doses of thyroxine supplement.

Radiofrequency perforation and cutting balloon septoplasty of intact atrial septum in a newborn with hypoplastic left heart syndrome using transesophageal ICE probe guidance.

Newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and intact atrial septum present an emergent and unique challenge to a children's heart center. This case report describes new transcatheter techniques (use of radiofrequency energy to perforate the atrial septum followed by cutting balloon and static balloon septoplasty) and novel use of a transesophageal ICE probe.
