Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is the most common indication for respiratory extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in neonates. The survival rate of CDH neonates treated with ECLS is 50%, and this figure has remained relatively stable over the last few decades. This is likely because the current population of CDH neonates who require ECLS have a higher risk profile [1]. The management of neonates with CDH has evolved over time to emphasize postnatal stabilization, gentle ventilation, and multi-modal treatment of pulmonary hypertension. In order to minimize practice variation, many centers have adopted CDH-specific clinical practice guidelines, however care is not standardized between different centers and outcomes vary [3]. The purpose of this review is to summarize our current understanding of issues central to the care of neonates with CDH treated with ECLS and specifically highlight how the use of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) data have added to our understanding of CDH.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is the most common indication for extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for neonatal respiratory failure. CDH management is evolving with advanced prenatal diagnostic imaging modalities. The risk profiles of infants receiving ECMO for CDH are shifting towards higher risk. Many clinicians are developing and following clinical practice guidelines to standardize and optimize the care of CDH neonates. Despite these efforts, there are significant differences in the practice patterns among ECMO centers as to how and when they choose to initiate ECMO for CDH, when they believe repair is safe, as well as many other nuances that are based on center experience or style. The purpose of this report is to summarize our current understanding of the new and recent developments regarding management of infants with CDH managed with ECMO.

Abstract
Central venous catheterisation is routinely performed in paediatric patients to facilitate therapeutic management when long-term vascular access is needed. Misplacement of the catheter tip in thoracic vessels other than the superior vena cava has been described, along with related complications. Hereby, a case of a 15-month-old child is presented with a fully functional Hickman catheter introduced via the left internal jugular vein. The tip of the catheter was misplaced into the azygos vein. Intraoperative spot fluoroscopic images and anatomical explanations for the course of the catheter are presented. An understanding of the aetiology of the radiological appearance may help to increase recognition of such cases and avoid complications.

Successful Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Incidental Azygos Vein Cannulation in a Neonate With Right-Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Interruption of the Inferior Vena Cava and Azygos Continuation. Front Pediatr 2019; 7:444.

Abstract
Incidental azygos vein cannulation has been reported in a few cases of neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This complication is described in the literature mainly in pathological conditions wherein increased central venous pressure dilates the superior vena cava (SVC), i.e., right congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) or pulmonary hypertension. Azygos vein cannulation should always be suspected in cases of impaired venous return and circuit failure. Although rare, it hinders proper venous aspiration of the ECMO circuit and generally requires repositioning or replacement of the venous cannula or conversion to central cannulation. In this report, we describe a newborn with severe right CDH who required ECMO assistance, wherein incidental cannulation of the azygos vein resulted in successful functioning of the circuit because of the concomitant presence of isolated interruption of the inferior vena cava and azygos continuation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of successful neonatal ECMO despite azygos vein cannulation in a patient with such rare physiology.
