Abstract
We report a rare case of an interventricular septal hematoma in a 4-month-old infant after patch closure of a membranous ventricular septal defect. Routine intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring allowed immediate detection of intraventricular hematoma that was promptly treated by simple needle drainage after weaning off cardiopulmonary bypass. Patient's postoperative clinical course was uneventful.

Abstract
Complete atrioventricular (AV) canal defects usually have right and left valve components of approximately equal size, although unbalanced forms do occur. Optimal management of unbalanced AV canal defects is controversial, with no proven guidelines for choosing between biventricular repair and univentricular palliation. We describe successful biventricular repair of a right-dominant unbalanced AV canal with severe left AV valve stenosis. This case illustrates that severely unbalanced AV canal defects can be repaired successfully by tailoring the AV valve to distribute it equally between the ventricles, The increase in left ventricular volume after surgery exceeded prediction based on conformational change alone.

Abstract
It was demonstrated that patients who have undergone the Fontan operation can safely undertake exercise training and that this results in an improvement in aerobic capacity. These findings suggest that aerobic training could be useful in the long-term management of these patients to optimize their cardiovascular fitness for more active lives.
