Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a potentially lethal disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation, thus making the diagnosis hard to depict. In cases where acute circulatory failure occurs venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is a valid management strategy, especially in the pediatric and adult patients. This study aims to report the results of VA ECMO for FM in our Institution.

We report a case of a 14-year-old girl with complex congenital heart disease where computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated a giant aneurysm of the right inferior pulmonary vein, in the absence of any downstream obstruction. The case highlights the developmental aspects of this rare anomaly in addition to the role of CT angiography in anatomical depiction of structures which are difficult to visualize on transthoracic echocardiography.

Infective endocarditis (IE) in children is a rare entity which presents a high rate of events during follow-up. Congenital heart disease, i particular ventricular septal defect (VSD), is the main predisposing condition to IE at those ages. The long-term risk of IE is of concern and whose follow-up can be complicated by a relapse of IE and reintervention.

Department of Paediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute, Rao Saheb, Achutrao Patwardhan Marg, Four Bungalows, Andheri West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400053 India.

Unlabelled: In congenital heart surgery, redo-sternotomies are very common. In most cases, sternal re-entry is achieved without serious complications. However, sometimes elective institution of peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass is needed for safe sternotomy, albeit with a long cardio-pulmonary bypass time.
