A term, healthy infant presented with respiratory distress and severe pulmonary hypertension (PH). With an unclear aetiology and the intent to decrease right ventricular afterload, pulmonary vasodilators were initiated. Follow-up imaging revealed a supravalvular mitral ring as the cause of the PH which resolved after surgical resection of the membrane.

Background: Atrial flutter (AFL) is usually effectively treated by cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation. If AFL recurs despite ablation, there is risk of progression to atrial fibrillation (AF) and clinicians should consider underlying structural heart diseases. This consideration becomes especially critical when right-heart-chambers are dilated.
