Gerbode defect, a left ventricle to right atrium (LV-RA) communication, is usually congenital. Acquired LV-RA communications are rare and only few case reports of successful trans-catheter closure have been published though none of them were on infants. We hereby report a rare case of LV to RA shunt acquired following surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The defect was successfully closed percutaneously with an Amplatzer duct occluder. This is the first reported case of device closure of an acquired Gerbode defect in an infant.

Superior vena cava aneurysm is a rare intrathoracic vascular lesion with only 27 cases reported in the literature. The majority are fusiform and can be associated with cystic hygroma due to the close embryonic relationship between lymphatic vessels and systemic veins. This is the first report of superior vena cava aneurysm diagnosed with fetal echocardiography in a fetus with a cystic hygroma. There is a need of a prospective registry to further delineate all aspects of this condition and establish the most appropriate therapeutic approach.
