The case of a neonate in heart failure with the classical signs of coarctation of the aorta is described. Two dimension and Doppler echocardiography ruled out coarctation of the aorta and an abdominal ultrasonography detected a large thrombotic formation in the abdominal aorta, confirmed at necropsy.

Woman, 42 years-old, receiving immunosuppressive therapy for a lymphoma, presented reagudization of Chagas' disease, from its indeterminate phase. Intense inflammatory visceral aggression, due to extensive intracellular proliferation of the Trypanosoma cruzi, was the likely mechanism for acute myocarditis leading to severe right ventricular failure. Antiparasite chemotherapy was effective in the control of visceral involvement and for the remission of cardiac failure. The clinical course in this case is compatible with the hypothesis of early right ventricular damage in Chagas' disease
