Background: Gastro-esophageal variceal hemorrhage (GEVH) is one of the major causes of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding in children. Medical, endoscopic, angiographic, and surgical interventions can be utilized in treatment. In this case report, we describe partial splenic artery embolization for refractory GEVH due to portal vein thrombosis.

The right venous valve is critical to the proper development of the fetal heart. As the right venous valve degenerates later in fetal development, residual structures can remain, such as the terminal crest, Eustachian valve, Thebesian valve, and a prominent Chiari network, with a sail-like appearance resembling a spinnaker. While these structures are often incidentally found on adult echocardiograms, we present a case of a term neonate with hypoxia secondary to a persistent right valve of the sinus venosus.
