Cardiol Young. 2018 Oct;28(10):1162-1164. doi: 10.1017/S1047951118000896. Epub 2018 Jul 11.

Abstract

Only few reports have described successful simultaneous transcatheter intervention for CHD in infants. We present an infant with secundum atrial septal defect complicated by valvular pulmonary stenosis. Percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed first, followed by transcatheter closure of the secundum atrial septal defect uneventfully. Simultaneous transcatheter correction is an effective therapeutic option even in infants.

Keywords: Simultaneous transcatheter intervention; infants; secundum atrial septal defect; valvular pulmonary stenosis.
