ABSTRACT: A four-month-old infant with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery developed severe left ventricular failure after aortic reimplantation, despite prolonged supportive cardiopulmonary bypass with high level inotropic support and several abortive attempts for discontinuation. The Batista procedure was performed and the patient was successfully weaned from bypass. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and at one-year follow-up she remains asymptomatic.

ABSTRACT: Most cases of chylopericardium in childhood are secondary to thoracic surgery, especially after cardiac surgery. However, it can also be present in children without this history, as we show in this report. First, a nine year-old boy in whom chylopericardium was the first manifestation of a lymphangiomatosis, and the second one, a fifteen months old girl with a history of Down's syndrome and autoimmune enteropathy, which was classified as primary congenital chylopericardium. Also, a review of literature over the last 13 years is made, and management of this rare entity is discussed.

ABSTRACT: We present four patients with intramural hematomas in the ascending aorta. Diagnostic suspicion was aortic dissection in two of them. Prompt surgical procedures were performed in all of them. After reviewing other series, we conclude that ascending aorta hematomas should be treated as true aortic dissections.

ABSTRACT: Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) has become a therapeutic option to malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Its bulky device responds for discomfort and the likelihood of generator extrusion or migration, when implanted under the subcutaneous tissue. Among alternative sites, pre-peritoneal location has several advantages but hides its own risks. We present a generator peritoneal migration from a pocket made behind the rectus abdominis.

ABSTRACT: A 39-years-old male patient with chronic venous insufficiency, deep venous thrombosis and recurrent pulmonary embolism in the past medical history. After syncopal event was diagnosed of bilateral chronic pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure. Fibrinolytic treatment was no effective therapeutic modality. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, bilateral pulmonary thromboendarterectomy with extension into lobe arteries, plus insertion of caval filter was performed. We present our experience with this case and a review of the literature.

ABSTRACT: Resumen La mayoría de los casos de quilopericardio en la infancia aparecen tras cirugía torácica, especialmente tras cirugía cardiaca, aunque de forma excepcional también se producen en niños sin estos antecedentes, como los 2 pacientes presentados en este artículo. El primero se trata de un niño de 9 años con un episodio de quilopericardio como primera manifestación de una linfangiomiomatosis, y el segundo de una niña de 15 meses con antecedentes de síndrome de Down y enteropatía autoinmune, catalogado como quilopericardio congénito primario. Además, se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de los casos publicados en los últimos 13 años y se analiza el manejo de esta rara entidad. An Pediatr (Barc). 2010;73:42-6.
