Abstract: Idiopathic arterial calcification of infancy is a rare condition characterized by extensive calcification and stenosis of large and medium sized arteries. A ten day old female baby developed sudden shortness of breath and was treated with oxygen and antibiotics. Antenatal echocardiography showed calcification of the aorta and pulmonary arteries. Autopsy examination revealed extensive calcification in the walls of major arteries and vessels of several organs. The baby was found to have a karyotype of 47 chromosomes.

Abstract: This article presents two patients who had delayed transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects for persistent cyanosis after surgical repair of severe pulmonary stenosis. The defects (two in one patient) were closed uneventfully and successfully with Amplatzer ASO devices, with significant improvement in oxygen saturation. The staged approach and the complementary role of surgery and intervention are discussed.
