Parasites may directly or indirectly affect the heart in the form of myocarditis, pericarditis, pancarditis, or pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, it should be kept in mind that parasites may be responsible for myocardial and pericardial disease anywhere around the globe. Herein, we report an adolescent boy with myocarditis associated with enteric amebiasis.We report long-term outcome after two-stage, "one lung repair" in a four-year-old boy with tetralogy of Fallot and congenital absence of the left pulmonary artery. The operation was carried out two years after a palliative aortopulmonary central shunt and was uneventful. Twenty-six years later, the patient is in excellent clinical condition, with normal peripheral oxygen saturation. A recent radionuclide lung scan and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging show the pulmonary flow entirely directed into the right lung. In selected cases, the long-term prognosis of patients with tetralogy of Fallot and true absence of left pulmonary artery after "one lung repair" may be excellent. We aimed to describe our experience with patients with sickle cell trait (SCT) and undergoing surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Data on all patients with SCT or sickle-α thalassemia who underwent surgery on CPB were collected (1996-2017). Overall, 46 patients were included, 37 (80%) had SCT and 9 (20%) had sickle-α thalassemia. A total of 4 (9%) developed a potential sickle cell-related complication. Patients with sickle cell-related complications were significantly older (median 14 years vs 14 months, = .037) and heavier (median 54 kg vs 9 kg, = .041). Complications occurred, although without statistical significance, in patients who underwent longer median CPB times (249 minutes vs 137 minutes, = .069), lower median temperature (31.7 °C vs 33.3 °C, = .094), and a higher percentage
