Recently we saw an infant who had midline defects and Hirschsprung disease, which brought to mind the paper by Jespers et al. [1993] on 2 sibs with similar defects. Those children were born to healthy, consanguineous parents, suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance. The authors concluded that the
## Abstract We sought to evaluate the relative cost of surgical and device closure of atrial septal defect. Device closure for atrial septal defects is becoming an alternative to surgical closure. We examined the hospitalβgenerated cost data in 13 patients who underwent surgical repair and 15 patie
