ASD/PFO
One is called an atrial septal defect (ASD), and the other is a patent foramen ovale (PFO). ... Generally an ASD hole is larger than that of a PFO. The larger the hole, the more likely there are to be symptoms. PFOs, on the other hand, can only occur after birth when the foramen ovale fails to close.
In some cases, the heart is also stopped for 1 to 2 hours to facilitate the repair. Repairs range from relatively simple operations to more complex procedures depending on the location, size, and characteristics of the ASD. The total duration of the operation ranges from 2 to 3 hours.

Polydactyly (Supernumerary Digit);
Supernumerary digits refer to the occurrence of extra (more than 10) fingers, toes, or parts of these digits. The medical term for this condition is polydactyly. The diagnosis can be divided into 3 classifications: extra digits that occur on the side of the thumb or big toe, extra digits that occur on the side of the little finger or the last toe (most common), and those that involve the fingers or toes in the middle.
Signs and Symptoms:-
A supernumerary digit most commonly occurs on the little finger. The extra digit may be only flesh and skin, or there may be bone underneath. It may appear to be floating (called a nubbin) and connected by a stalk, with a normal-appearing nail at the end. It may be an isolated finding at birth, or it may be seen with other symptoms or features. When it occurs with other features, it may be related to a genetic condition involving an extra part of or whole chromosome. The extra digit may or may not be seen on prenatal ultrasound.
Treatments Your Physician May Prescribe:-
The treatment is surgical removal of the extra digit by a subspecialist. The goals of surgery are to cosmetically improve the appearance of the hand or foot and also to prevent progressive deformity as your infant grows. The surgery for fully formed extra digits (bone, flesh, and skin) is often deferred until about 9–12 months of age so your infant can better tolerate the anesthesia involved in the surgery. However, small, bone-less digits may be surgically removed earlier. The prognosis for this minor surgery is excellent.
