The use of percutaneous devices is commonplace for the treatment of many congenital heart defects. However, there are some situations where procedure-related complications are encountered and surgical help is required to ameliorate this issue. Vascular injury due to transcatheter intervention is a significant and challenging complication and occasionally requires surgical approach. In this case report, we aimed to present successful surgical management of vascular injuries associated with percutaneous interventions in children.

AbstractSitus ambiguous comprises of 3% of congenital heart defects and is present in at least 1 in 10,000 live births. Most cases diagnosed prenatally are associated with complex cardiac defects which can be detected by ultrasonography. This is a case report of a fetus presenting with hydrops, which was detected to have situs ambiguous, a complex cardiac defect and multiple laterality defects on autopsy.
