Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) aneurysm is a rare vascular entity and may present with a wide range of symptoms. They are often symptomatic, presenting with thromboembolic intestinal angina. They have a high risk of rupture and may present with gastro-intestinal bleeding, associated with high morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a 14year-old boy who presented with chronic abdominal pain and weight loss, in which SMA aneurysm was diagnosed after radiological evaluation. He underwent successful excision of aneurysmal sac along with aorto-mesenteric bypass using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft, and had an uneventful recovery.Cardiovasc. j. 2016; 8(2): 161-164

Discrete subaortic membrane, which is an obstructing lesion of the left ventricular outflow tract, remains a surgical challenge. A 7 year old boy came with a discrete fixed sub-aortic membrane (SAM) causing severe Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. The membrane was excised totally and the patient had a satisfactory recovery. Discharge echocardiogram found no residual SAM, no gradient across LVOT, mild aortic regurgitation(AR) which was present preoperatively.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2015; 30(1) : 43-45
