Title: Pacemaker endocarditis due to Haemophilus parainfluenza : case report and literature review Authors: Sammut, Patrick; Woodcock, H.; Oswal, Neelam; Kadalraja, R. Abstract: This article reports a case of pacemaker infective endocarditis in a 14 month old girl, caused by Haemophilus parainfluenzae. There are no other cases in children reported in the literature. The issues surrounding the case and the evidence which influenced the management are discussed

Title: Mediastinal widening on chest radiography caused by combined aortic valve disease and primary large B-cell lymphoma Authors: Tomaske, Maren; Kellenberger, Christian J.; Bodmer, Nicole; Knirsch, Walter; Bauersfeld, Urs Abstract: Poststenotic aortic root dilatation in patients with aortic valvular stenosis may result in mediastinal widening on chest radiograph. Main differential diagnosis of mediastinal widening is a tumour. In fact, besides atypical chest pain or dyspnoea at exertion secondary to compression of intrathoracic structures in the latter, symptoms may be absent. This article reports a case of combined aortic valve disease and additional primary large B-cell lymphoma.

Title: Central venous catheters in children and neonates : what is important? Authors: Trieschmann, U.; Sreeram, Narayanswami; Udink ten Cate, Floris Abstract: Central venous access is an essential part of perioperative management for infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease. In addition, a thorough knowledge of the techniques for cannulation and placement of venous lines from the various percutaneously accessible sites is an important aspect of cardiac catheterization in this patient population. In the first of a series of papers describing the various approaches to venous access, we describe percutaneous cannulation of the subclavian vein. The standard approach, as well as potential difficulties, and how to overcome them, are described, as also the complications associated with this approach.

Title: Modified Echocardiographic views for concordant atrio-ventricular connection with discordant ventriculo-arterial connection or double outlet right ventricle and sub-pulmonary ventricular septal defect Authors: Mishra, Suryaprakash Abstract: With widespread use of arterial switch operations for these two entities, the delineation of coronary artery anatomy is one of the most important tasks for pediatric cardiologists. Standard views such as parasternal (short and long axis) and four chamber views (apical and subcostal) are well described and used widely in routine practice. However, the delineation of coronary arteries arising from the right facing sinus may be difficult due to crowding of ribs in small neonates or altered positioning of sinuses for varied reasons leading to poor precardial windows
