Abstract
BACKGROUND In countries where organ donation is scarce, mortality in the pediatric heart transplant waiting list is high, and ventricular assist devices (VADs) are therapeutic alternatives in these situations. Berlin Heart EXCOR is currently 1 of the few VADs specific for children. METHODS This retrospective study includes pediatric patients who underwent Berlin Heart EXCOR placement in a Brazilian hospital between 2012 and 2021. Clinical and laboratory data at the time of VAD implantation and the occurrence of complications and outcomes (success as a bridge to transplant or death) were analyzed. RESULTS Eight patients, from 8 months to 15 years, were included: 6 with cardiomyopathy and 2 with congenital heart disease. Six were on Intermacs 1 and 2 on Intermacs 2. The most common complications observed were stroke and right ventricular dysfunction. Six were transplanted, and 2 died. Those submitted to transplant had a higher mean weight than those who died, with no statistically significant difference. The underlying disease had no impact on the outcome. The group undergoing transplant had lower brain natriuretic peptide and lactate values, but no laboratory variable showed a statistically significant difference in the outcome. CONCLUSION A VAD is an invasive treatment with potentially serious adverse effects and is still poorly available in Brazil. However, as a bridge to transplant, it is a useful treatment for children in progressive clinical decline. In this study, we did not observe any clinical or laboratory factor at the time of VAD implantation that implied better outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heart transplantation is the standard treatment for end-stage heart disease. Despite advances in the field, patients remain under risk of developing complications, including opportunistic infections, such as tuberculosis. We present the unprecedented case of cerebral tuberculoma in a 9-year-old heart transplant recipient. CASE SCENARIO A 9-year-old female child, who underwent heart transplantation in December 2020, was admitted to the emergency department in September 2021 due to headache and vomiting. She had normal vital signs and a mild left hemiparesis. Laboratory findings included lymphopenia and a low C Reactive Protein and brain images showed expansive lesions. A biopsy of the intracranial lesion was performed and anatomopathological analysis was compatible with tuberculoma. After the diagnosis was established, treatment protocol for neurotuberculosis was initiated, the patient had a satisfactory clinical evolution and was discharged 22 days after admission. DISCUSSION Clinical manifestation of tuberculosis usually occurs up to 6 months after transplantation, the findings are commonly atypical and symptoms may be mild. We could not find in medical literature any description of the disease in a heart transplant recipient as young as the one presented in this case report. We documented great response to treatment, even though conventional antituberculosis therapy may interfere with immunosuppression. CONCLUSION Patients in the postoperative period following heart transplantation are at high risk for developing opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis, which may present with atypical symptoms. Therefore the clinician must have a high index of suspicion in order to make the correct diagnosis and promptly start treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI), also known as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (OMIM 253200) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder, caused by the deficiency of the enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (also known as arylsulfatase B) due to mutations of the ARSB gene. Cardiologic features are well recognized, and are always present in MPS VI patients. Generally, the onset and the progression of the cardiologic symptoms are insidious, and just a few patients have developed a rapidly progressive disease. Cardiac involvement in MPS VI is a common and progressive feature. For MPS patients, cardiac evaluations are recommended every 1 to 2 years, including blood pressure measurement, electrocardiography and echocardiography. However, congestive heart failure and valvular surgical repair are not frequently seen, and if so, they are performed in adults. Here we report on an atypical MPS VI case with ascites fetalis and a rapidly progressive cardiac disease. CASE PRESENTATION A 6-month-old Brazilian male, only child of a Brazilian healthy non-consanguineous couple. During pregnancy, second trimester ultrasonography observed fetal ascites and bilateral hydrocele. Physical exam at 6 months-old revealed a typical gibbus deformity and MPS was suspected. Biochemical investigation revealed a diagnosis of MPS type VI, confirmed by molecular test. Baseline echocardiogram revealed discrete tricuspid regurgitation and a thickened mitral valve with posterior leaflet prolapse, causing moderate to severe regurgitation. The patient evolved with mitral insufficiency and congestive heart failure, eventually requiring surgical repair by the first year of age. CONCLUSIONS We report the first case of MPS VI whose manifestations started in the prenatal period with fetal ascites, with severe cardiac valvular disease that eventually required early surgical repair. Moreover, in MPS with neonatal presentation, including fetal hydrops, besides MPS I, IVA and VII, clinicians should include MPS VI in the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE ASSIST is the first Brazilian initiative in building a collaborative quality improvement program in pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease. The purposes of this manuscript are: (a) to describe the development of the ASSIST project, including the historical, philosophical, organizational, and infrastructural components that will facilitate collaborative quality improvement in congenital heart disease care; (b) to report past and ongoing challenges faced; and (c) to report the first preliminary data analysis. METHODS A total of 614 operations were prospectively included in a comprehensive online database between September 2014 and December 2015 in two participating centers. Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS) 1 and Aristotle Basic Complexity (ABC) scores were obtained. Descriptive statistics were provided, and the predictive values of the two scores for mortality were calculated by multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS Many barriers and challenges were faced and overcome. Overall mortality was 13.4%. Independent predictors of in-hospital death were: RACHS-1 categories (3, 4, and 5/6), ABC level 4, and age group (≤ 30 days, and 30 days - 1 year). CONCLUSION The ASSIST project was successfully created over a solid base of collaborative work. The main challenges faced, and overcome, were lack of institutional support, funding, computational infrastructure, dedicated staff, and trust. RACHS-1 and ABC scores performed well in our case mix. Our preliminary outcome analysis shows opportunities for improvement.

Abstract
We report an unusual case of association of plastic bronchitis (PB) to protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) in a girl of 4 years and 9 months of age with double inlet single left ventricle and ventriculoarterial concordance. submitted to total cavopulmonary surgery. with an intracardiac lateral tunnel at the age of three. The elimination of the 10 cm fibrin bronchial mold (PB) and the alpha-1-antitrypsin elevation of 52 mg/g in feces had both become outstanding. Using sildenafil. the thoracic duct ligature and the cardiac transplant were programmed in case of continuity of the process.

Abstract
Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare disease and MRI is a promising technique that may be useful to demonstrate the coronary artery tree. We report three patients who underwent cardiac MRI to investigate right coronary artery fistulae. On clinical examination, a continuous murmur was heard along the left sternal border, and chest X-ray showed moderate cardiomegaly with enlargement of right chambers in all patients. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography showed fistulae in two cases; the third case was not demonstrated by transthoracic or transoesophageal echocardiography. MRI demonstrated the course of the fistulous vessels in all patients. All patients underwent surgical closure of their coronary artery fistulae. MRI may show detailed anatomy of congenital coronary artery fistulae and may be useful as an additional non-invasive method in their investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cardiovascular findings and clinical follow-up of patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome. METHODS We studied 20 patients (11 males, mean age at diagnosis: 5.9 years old), assessed for cardiovascular abnormalities with electrocardiography and Doppler echocardiography. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to confirm the diagnosis of the syndrome. RESULTS Elastin gene locus microdeletion was detected in 17 patients (85%) (positive FISH), and in 3 patients deletion was not detected (negative FISH). Sixteen patients with a positive FISH (94%) had congenital cardiovascular disease (mean age at diagnosis: 2,3 years old). We observed isolated (2/16) supravalvular aortic stenosis and supravalvular aortic stenosis associated (11/16) with pulmonary artery stenosis (4/11); mitral valve prolapse (3/11); bicuspid aortic valve (3/11); aortic coarctation (2/11), thickened pulmonary valve (2/11); pulmonary valvular stenosis (1/11); supravalvular pulmonary stenosis (1/11); valvular aortic stenosis (1/11); fixed subaortic stenosis (1/11); pulmonary artery stenosis (2/16) associated with pulmonary valvar stenosis (1/2) and with mitral valve prolapse (1/2); and isolated mitral valve prolapse (1/16). Four patients with severe supravalvular aortic stenosis underwent surgery (mean age: 5.7 years old), and 2 patients had normal pressure gradients (mean follow-up: 8.4 years). CONCLUSION A detailed cardiac evaluation must be performed in all patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome due to the high frequency of cardiovascular abnormalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare immediate and late results in patients with or without fenestration who underwent cavopulmonary anastomosis so that we could assess the efficiency of the technique. METHODS Sixty-two patients underwent surgery between 1988 and 1999, 41 with fenestration (group I -G I) and 21 without fenestration (group II -G II). Tricuspid atresia was prevalent in group I (23-56%) and single ventricle was prevalent in group II (14-66%). Mean ages at the time of operation were 7.3 years in group I and 7.6 in group II. At late follow-up, mean ages were 10.6 years in group I and 12.8 years in group II. RESULTS Immediate and late mortality were 7.3% in G-I and 4.7% in G-II. Significant pleural effusion occurred in 41.4% of G-I patients and in 23.8% of G-II patients. Significant pericardial effusion occurred in 29.2% and 14.2%, respectively, in groups I and II. Central venous pressure was greater in G-II, 17.7 cm in H2O, as opposed to 15 cm in G-I. Hospital stay was similar between the groups, 26.3 and 21.8 days, respectively. Cyanosis and arterial insaturation occurred in 5 patients, and 4 patients were in functional class II, all from G-I. At late follow-up, 58 (93.5%) were in functional class I. Sinus rhythm was present in 94%, and pulmonary perfusion was similar in both groups. Eleven patients who underwent spirometry had good tolerance to physical effort. CONCLUSION Atrial fenestration did not improve the immediate or late follow-up of patients who underwent cavopulmonary anastomosis, and is, therefore, dispensable.

Abstract
Ebstein's anomaly with coarctation of the aorta is an extremely unusual condition. In this report, the clinical and surgical features of 3 male patients, aged 7 months, 4 years and 14 years, are discussed. All patients were in situs solitus. The first 2 patients had atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance and progressed to heart failure in the neonatal period. The third had atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial concordance, as well as Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, with frequent episodes of paroxysmal tachycardia. The 3 patients underwent surgery for correction of the coarctation of the aorta. The patient with atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial concordance underwent tricuspid valvuloplasty using a DeVega-like technique. In addition, ablation of 2 anomalous pathways (Kent bundle), which were detected by the electrophysiologic study, was also subsequently performed. The 3 patients showed a good postoperative outcome for 2 years, although, in those with discordance, the surgical procedure did not influence the dysplasia of the tricuspid valve, because this valve showed light to moderate dysfunction.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare clinical course, causes and symptoms beginning enset time in children with complete atrioventricular canal with and without Down's syndrome. METHODS Records of 80 patients < 2 years of age, were reviewed. There were 55 (69%) with Down's syndrome-group I (GI) and 25 (31%) without-group II (GII). Age at synpton enset intensity, functional class, clinical repercussion and anatomic variations in patients undergoing corrective surgery were evaluated. RESULTS Mean age at symptoms onset was similar for the two groups (50 +/- 75 days). Class II (NYHA) was more frequent in GI (31 patients-56.5%) and class III-IV (NYHA) in GII (19 patients-76%) p < 0.005. Clinical repercussion evaluation showed that congestive heart failure was present in 34 (62%) patients of GI and 21 (84%) of GII; and, pulmonary hypertension was in 21 (38%) patients of GI and 4 (16%) patients of GII p < 0.04. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure of 50 mmHg or more was present in 68% of children with Down's syndrome and in 35% of GII. Clinical course until surgical correction was down hill in 33 (60%) from GI and 21 (84%) from GII p < 0.03. Seventy seven patients underwent surgical correction. CAVC type A of the Rastelli classification was predominant in both groups, GI 37 (67%)-GII 25 (100%). There or more severe valvar morphologic lesions in group II (38%) than in group I (8%). CONCLUSION There seems to be a pulmonary vascular hyperreactivity predominance in Down's children and cardiac insufficiency signs in the normal genetic group.

Abstract
A four year-old boy with an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (LCA) directly from the right pulmonary artery was reported. He had been underwent to mitral valve replacement by a St Judes no. 29, due to severe mitral insufficiency, secondary to an extensive myocardial infarction including the anterior and posterior papilary muscles, beside the implantation of the LCA in the aorta. Instead of this favorable outcome, it's emphasized the need for earlier recognition to avoid risk sequelae.

Abstract
A case of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and a hypoplastic right ventricle, with three wall formed portions, that became naturally well developed until 2 years of age, is related. A Blalock-Taussig shunt had been performed early in life. Z value of tricuspid valve of 0.3 and left ventricular in ECG has been changed to a well developed tricuspid annulus of 22 mm diameter and to a right ventricle overload after 2 years of follow-up, being possible surgical correction at that time. This observation, until today unknown, the natural increase of a congenitally hypoplastic cardiac chamber, favors the possibility to postpone the corrective operation to a better stage in this anomaly, when the risk becomes lower.

Abstract
Two cases of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with posterior aorta are reported. The first was submitted to the Senning procedure with good outcome; the other had the diagnosis of double outlet right ventricle with severe pulmonary stenosis, and a Blalock-Taussig shunt was accomplished for hypoxic crisis. The patient died 11 days after surgery and the necropsy demonstrated TGA with posterior aorta. In both cases there was a sub-pulmonary infundibulum. The presence of ventricular septal defects allowed aortic-mitral fibrous continuity, a finding previously described in anatomical reports. Clinical and angiographic aspects are discussed.

Abstract
Ischemic cardiomyopathy in childhood is related with congenital and acquired pathologies which could lead to serious cardiac sequelae as myocardial infarction and sudden death. Unfortunately, when coronary artery malformations are excluded, it is difficult in some cases to be completely certain on the etiology of the arterial coronary disease, due the lack of pathognomonic diagnostic tests. Case report of 6 year old child, with severe coronary artery disease: aneurysm of main branch of left coronary artery; left anterior descending branch and right coronary artery occlusions with accentuated myocardial dysfunction. We believe that the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease is presumptive in this patient. The principal aspects to elucidate the etiology of coronary artery disease are analysed, as well as the importance of identifying patients without known previous illness, but with severe coronary artery lesions, as in this reported case.

Abstract
We analyzed the findings in 23 patients with atresia of the left atrioventricular valve and a patent aorta seen in the period from January 1980 to July 1989. Having divided the cases according to the anatomical findings, we made a subsequent analysis of the clinical and surgical results with the aim of establishing the management most likely to diminish risks, still high, in treatment of this complex anomaly. From the anatomical viewpoint, three variants were observed. In the first, made up of 15 cases, there was absence of the left atrioventricular connexion. The characteristic finding in the second group, with five cases, was an imperforate left atrioventricular valve in the setting of concordant atrioventricular connexions. The third group, of these cases, was dominated by the presence of isomerism of the atrial appendages, both appendages being of left morphology in one case, and of right morphology in the other two. Further anatomical variation was then found in each group. Nine of the 15 with absence of the left atrioventricular connexion had the right atrium connected to a dominant left ventricle in presence of a rudimentary and incomplete right ventricle associated with discordant ventriculo-arterial connexions, all of them being in usual atrial arrangement and three with pulmonary stenosis. The remaining six in this first variant had the right atrium connected to a dominant right ventricle. In the five patients with imperforate left atrioventricular valves, two had discordant and three had concordant ventriculo-arterial connexions. In the three cases with isomerism, two had absence of the left atrioventricular connexion, with a dominant right ventricle. The last patient had an imperforate left atrioventricular valve and a discordant ventriculo-arterial connexion. From the functional viewpoint, there were 14 patients (10 with absence of an atrioventricular connexion, four with imperforate atrioventricular valve) with congestive heart failure and nine patients (five from the first, one from second, and three from the third variant) with hypoxia. Long-term follow-up (median 16.4 months--varying from 1 to 41 months--in the group with congestion and 27.7 months--varying from 12 to 57 months--in those with hypoxia) showed favorable clinical evolution in 11 (91%). We conclude that an anatomico-functional division can point towards the most appropriate management in this complex anomaly.

Abstract
Three infants with anomalous origin of left coronary artery, being two from the right pulmonary artery and one from the left, without other congenital defects, ages of 5, 15 and 3 months old, presented with early congestive heart failure due to anterolateral myocardial infarction. Anatomical characteristic was peculiar in two cases since the left coronary artery, before the anastomosis with the right pulmonary artery, presented a wy, 15 mm extension path within the aortic wall which has facilitated the surgical correction by the proximity of these structures. In the third case, the left coronary artery was anastomosed with the left pulmonary artery, 2 cm from its origin and anterior to the left atrium being the surgical correction by direct implant at the ascending aorta. Post-operative follow-up, 36, 30 and 33 months respectively, showed clinical and laboratorial normalization except for the second case in which ST segment remained upward due to ventricular aneurysm. Myocardial recovery, even after extensive infarction, in this anomaly, emphasizes the need for earlier diagnosis and management.

Abstract
The clinical evolution of mitral valve disfunction caused by papillary muscle necrosis in patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk was analysed in three children (one 42-day-old male, one five-month-old female and one seven-year-old female). Two patients had been submitted to surgical repair of the anomalous origin of the coronary artery; one of them without mitral repair had a bad evolution in the postoperative period, was reoperated for mitral valve replacement and died two days after surgery. The other patient with plastic of mitral valve had a good outcome. The data indicated that the surgical repair of mitral valve should be provided in cases of mitral valve incompetence secondary to anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk.

Abstract
Two patients with transposition of the great arteries submitted to Jatene surgery at ages of 6 days and 6 months respectively, presented in the postoperative period stenosis of the aorto-pulmonary anastomosis. The diagnosis was made three and six years after the surgery. In both patients successful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was performed, respectively six months and immediately after the diagnosis. Pressure gradients decreased from 83 mmHg to 24 mmHg in the first case, and from 76 mmHg to 13 mmHg in the other case, with clear improvement of the angiographic image. Complications of the procedure did not occur in any case. This application for PTA was not previously reported and should be considered as an alternative to the surgical correction of the "new" pulmonary trunk stenosis in the Jatene surgery.

The patients were divided in 3 groups (Gr) by their ages: group I (Gr. I) 7 pt (8%) aged 4 days to 11 months, Gr. II 66 pt (73%) aged 1 year to 12 years and Gr. III 17 pt aged 13 to 34 years. This study consists of clinical and echocardiographic evaluation adopting the following parameters of indication: a) transvalvar pulmonary gradient (G); b) absence of dysplasia or hypoplasia of the pulmonary annulus. There were associated lesions which were found in each group: Gr. I atrial septal defect (ASD) in 2 pt and tricuspid insufficiency (TI) in 1 pt, in Gr. II supra valvar stenosis (SVS) in 1 pt and patent arterial ductus (PAD) in 1 pt and in the Gr. III (ASD) in 1 pt. The results after pulmonary valvuloplasty with balloon catheter (PVBC) were: (Gr.I) in 5 pt the G were reduced below 50 mmHg and the average of right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) changed from 92 to 62 mmHg and the average of G from 76 to 44 mmHg. One of these pt was submitted to surgery 1 month after the procedure and 2 developed restenosis in 2 and 3 years respectively, being submitted to another dilatation with good results. The 2 pt in which the procedure was not effective were submitted to surgery. In the second group the PVBC was effective in 61 pt (92%) showing the RVSP changed from 118 to 64 mmHg and G changed from 86 to 23 mmHg.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
