Title: Transcatheter closure of symptomatic aortopulmonary window in an infant Authors: Pillekamp, Frank; Hannes, Tobias; Koch, Daniel; Brockmeier, Konrad; Sreeram, Narayanswami Abstract: An aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital cardiac defect. In the majority of symptomatic neonates and infants, primary surgical repair is the treatment of choice. In selected infants, catheter closure of the defect with a device may be feasible. This article reports on the successful closure of an AP window in a 12 month old infant, using a 6mm Amplatzer septal occluder. The procedure and follow-up were uneventful.

Title: Change of size and type of patent ductus arteriosus in a one year old infant during routine echocardiographic study Authors: Galal, Mohammed Omar; Turkistani, H.; Sultan, A. Abstract: There are only very few publications which document reactivity of patent ductus arteriosus. This report documentes the reactivity of a patent arterial duct in a one year old infant, 6.5 kg weight during a routine echocardiographic color Doppler study. Echocardiographic images were obtained during conscious sedation.

Title: Unusual echocardiographic finding leading to diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration Authors: Baloria, A.; Vinayak, S.; Arora, R.; Mishra, Smita Abstract: Pulmonary sequestration is an embryonic mass of non- functioning lung tissue that does not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and has a reported incidence of 0.15%-6.4% of all the pulmonary malformations. This anomaly is classified as either intralobar or extralobar with the later variety lying outside the normal investment of visceral pleura. The arterial supply is predominantly by an anomalous artery usually arising from either abdominal or thoracic aorta, while the venous drainage occurs commonly via systemic rather than pulmonary veins. Identification of the anomalous arterial supply has therapeutic implication because the majority of infants clinically present large shunt lesions attributed to these channels in early infancy. The diagnosis in such cases is usually established by computed tomography (CT), angiography, magnetic resonance angiography and conventional angiography. This article reports a 28 day old neonate who presented with features of large shunt lesion, in which echocardiography was instrumental in the diagnosis of a large collateral supplying the sequestrated lung.
