During the surgery, the malfunctioning aortic valve is replaced with the patients own healthy pulmonary valvea technique called an autograftand the pulmonary valve replaced with donor tissue. Three patients underwent the Ross-Konno procedure, in which the left-sided outflow root is enlarged to fit the pulmonary autograft.

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital lung developmental anomaly characterized by abnormal lung tissue that receives its blood supply from the aorta. Utilizing the Seldinger technique, we accessed the right femoral artery and vein for angiography, confirming the abnormal vessels supplying the pulmonary cyst.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common forms of congenital heart disease (CHD). PDA combined with pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) due to IE is rare in children. Infectious endocarditis (IE) is a rare but serious complication of PDA. In this report, we report a rare pediatric PDA case, complicated with PAA due to IE.

Background Infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) are clinically vulnerable to cardiac deteriorations and intercurrent infections. We aimed to quantify the impact of health system disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, on their clinical outcomes and whether these differed by socioeconomic and ethnic subgroups.
