RESUMO
Acquired complete atrioventricular block that is caused by infectious myocarditis is usually transient and has a favourable outcome. We report the case of a 15-year-old girl who had complete infra-Hisian atrioventricular block due to adeno viral myocarditis and received a permanent pacemaker at the age of 10 months. The pacemaker lost its function at the age of 7 years. However, she experienced a late recurrence of complete atrioventricular block 10 years later. Complete atrioventricular block is rarely recovered if it persisted for 2 weeks. Even in the patients with late recovery, long-term follow-up and pacemaker therapy are still needed.

We described a patient who was diagnosed of Tetralogy of Fallot with right arch. Dorsal aortic aneurysm was found later confirmed by cardiac catheterization and reconstruction of 3D computer tomography. To our knowledge, the combination of Tetralogy of Fallot and dorsal aortic aneurysm had never been reported.

Postoperative chylothorax is sometimes difficult to be managed either by conventional therapies or by surgery. Herein, we report the experience of octreotide therapy for intractable postoperative chylothorax in two children (one was severe tetralogy of Fallot received Blalock-Taussing shunt, and the other was a single ventricle received bi-directional Glenn shunt) and review the literature on octreotide efficacy.
