Experience with polytetrafluoroethylene grafts in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease.
Survival and event-free rates of 47 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (Gore-Tex) shunts for severe cyanotic congenital heart defects were studied in 42 children from April, 1981, to March, 1983. Retrospective actuarial analysis was conducted over the 27 months of the study in 3-month intervals of the follow-up. The estimated actuarial patient survival at two years was 86% with an estimated actuarial event-free rate of 57.2%. The grafts were found to be patent in 89% (42/47) of the grafts. Complications associated with PTFE grafts were thrombosis, infections, heart failure, shunt stenosis, and deformity of the pulmonary arteries. Polytetrafluoroethylene grafts for systemic-pulmonary shunts offer good palliation, but the frequency of complications indicates that close follow-up is mandatory to avoid or treat serious sequelae of the complications.

Oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome.
A female infant was found at birth to have an oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome in which the main clinical features include orbital cyst, cerebral malformations, accessory skin tags, and focal hypoplasia or "punched-out" skin lesions. This case, like the four previously reported, was sporadic.
