Objectives: It has been reported that systemic venovenous malformation (VVM) can develop in patients with interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) and univentricular type of congenital heart disease who undergo superior vena cava to pulmonary artery connection (Kawashima operation). These malformations can lead to profound systemic desaturation postoperatively. However, there have been few reports that characterise the prevalence, anatomic details and clinical correlations of these systemic VVM arising after Kawashima operation.

Objectives: To assess the medium-term results of total cavopulmonary shunt operations in children with left atrial isomerism, interrupted inferior vena cava, and complex congenital heart defects.

Background: Creation of a total cavopulmonary shunt provides very good interim palliation for children with interrupted inferior vena cava and complex congenital heart disease; however, longer term results after this operation have not been reported.

Methods: Detailed follow up of six children who underwent creation of a total cavopulmonary shunt at a tertiary referral centre.

Our report describes a case of infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return diagnosed by MR in a newborn with an interruption of the aortic arch with ventricular septum defect and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. The severity of the congenital cardiopathy did not permit surgical treatment and the infant died soon after. Pathology confirmed the MR findings.

Early hematotoxicity following 4 to 8 courses of polychemotherapy has been analysed in 78 patients (mean age 32.5 years) treated for advanced stage Hodgkin's disease (53 stages III, 25 stages IV). Toxicity occurred in a third of the patients, and led to interrupt the treatment in one case out of 7, definitively in half of them.
