We report a case of a 3-year-old boy who had undergone total cavopulmonary connection for repair of corrected transposition of the great arteries (cTGA), and developed intractable supraventricular tachyarrhythmia. The patient was in cardiogenic shock and did not respond to antiarrhythmic drugs and cardioversion, and we used extracorporeal life support (ECLS) to maintain hemodynamics. ⋯ No recurrence was observed. In conclusion, dexmedetomidine might be useful for intractable supraventricular tachyarrhythmia after pediatric congenital heart surgery.

[Intubating laryngeal mask airway for fiberoptic bronchoscopy in a woman with right bronchial tumor].
A 37-year-old woman with bronchial tumor was scheduled for the removal of the mass with fiberoptic bronchoscope. Intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) was used for fiberoptic surgery. ⋯ Intraoperative laryngospasm was treated with intravenous suxamethonium. The ILMA allowed removal of the bronchial tumor with fiberoptic bronchoscope.
