Article Synopsis
- * Three cases are discussed where patients experienced serious injuries to the right internal mammary artery (RIMA) after the procedure, resulting in significant bleeding.
- * Management of these complications included exploratory thoracoscopy and angioembolization, which effectively halted the bleeding and led to full recovery of all patients involved.
Systemic-to-pulmonary artery collateral networks commonly develop in patients with single-ventricle physiology and chronic hypoxemia. Although these networks augment pulmonary blood flow, much of the flow is ineffective and contributes to cardiac volume loading. This volume loading can have detrimental effects, especially for single-ventricle patients.

Results: The fungus was isolated and grown in Czapek Dox broth culture medium and potato dextrose broth culture medium and identified as Diaporthe eres.
