TL;DR: Compared to adults with Covid-19, mortality in children with MIS-C is uncommon despite multi-system involvement, very elevated inflammatory markers and need for intensive care support.

TL;DR: Cardiac involvement is common in children with multi-inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19 pandemic and a majority of children have significantly raised levels of NT pro-BNP, ferritin, D-dimers and cardiac troponin in addition to high CRP and procalcitonin levels.

TL;DR: In this article , a two month old infant with critical coarctation of the aorta with multiorgan dysfunction and femoral arteries occlusion underwent a successful balloon dilation using percutaneous common carotid artery approach via ultrasound guidance.

TL;DR: A successful transcatheter management of proximal stent migration in a high surgical risk, a 14-year-old girl, which caused partial occlusion of both the descending aorta and the left subclavian artery.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to present the state of the art related to cardiac tumours in the paediatric population, in the context of the patients' own experience, and to recommend surgical resection for those causing symptoms, obstruction, cardiac dysfunction, and high risk of embolisation.
