In this report, five different case scenarios were presented. In the first case, successful use of propranolol to relieve severe right ventricular infundibular obstruction was illustrated which facilitated balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty. In the second case, successful percutaneous occlusion of an atrial septal defect with buttoned device in an infant weighing 3.6 kg was documented. In the next case, rare association tricuspid atresia with persistent truncus arteriosus was recorded. The fourth case illustrates first successful transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus with buttoned device in a child. The final case presents an unusual presentation of coarctation of the aorta in an infant and effective management with balloon angioplasty in the critically ill infant. Each of these cases were unique unto themselves either documenting successful management of these pathologies with innovative techniques or recording rare congenital cardiac abnormalities.
