To The Editor,

Over the past few months, a considerable literature has accumulated on the possibility of a multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. 1 Appropriate to this context, we wish to share our experience emanating from a pediatric cardiac surgical setting. To conclude, the aforementioned experience highlights the present-day relevance of a sound perioperative risk comprehension, consent appropriate to the level of planned surgical intervention to be equally backed by a case-based approach for the anticipation, and the attenuation of the second inflammatory hit aimed at ameliorating the overall severity of the postoperative disease. 8, 9 Meanwhile, prudent feasible suggestions from our colleagues on minimizing such perioperative circumstances are more than welcome.
