Abstract
We present the clinical course and management of two infants with idiopathic infantile arterial calcification. Both had coronary artery involvement and presented with ischaemic cardiac failure. Neither responded well to conventional therapy with inotropic agents, glyceryl trinitrate, diuretic and mechanical ventilation, nor to short-term biphosphonates. One was treated with levosimendan and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to no avail.
