ABSTRACT
Pentalogy of Cantrell is a very rare condition with very high mortality. We present an adult survivor with a classic pentad who underwent sequential surgical repairs as a neonate, child, and young adult. He required home mechanical ventilation for the first two years of life and subsequently needed noninvasive nocturnal ventilation as an adult.

ABSTRACT
Newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and intact atrial septum present an emergent and unique challenge to a children's heart center. This case report describes new transcatheter techniques (use of radiofrequency energy to perforate the atrial septum followed by cutting balloon and static balloon septoplasty) and novel use of a transesophageal ICE probe.
