RESUMO
Papillary fibroelastoma is the second most common benign cardiac tumor, usually involving the cardiac valve. Papillary fibroelastoma attached at the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve was found in a 51-year-old woman, who was presented with chest pain and dyspnea. During the operation, the tumor mass was excised without causing damage on the aortic valve leaflet.

Mitral stenosis was developed after Duran ring annuloplasty in two growing children during follow up period of 8 years and 5 years respectively, which may be due to pannus overgrowth and patient's growing. Only removal of pannus and prosthetic ring has resulted in complete relieving of Mitral stenosis. With time, even adult-sized annuloplasty ring may induce stenosis in growing children.

A 85-day-old infant was successfully operated on for truncus arteriosus (type I) with interrupted aortic arch (type A) using one-stage anterior approach without circulatory arrest. Aortic arch was reconstructed by direct anastomosis of ascending aorta and descending aorta with regional perfusion and continuity of right ventricle to pulmonary artery was established with Shelhigh(R) pulmonic conduit. The patient experienced left bronchus compression by descending aorta immediately postoperatively, which was improved with positional change and physiotherapy. The patient had reoperation due to stenosis of valved conduit at 13 months later. The patient is currently well under follow-up of 14 months from initial repair.
