Correction of right to left shunt by transcatheter treatment of pulmonary stenosis and atrial septal defect: a case report

Int J Clin Exp Med. 2014 May 15;7(5):1465-7. eCollection 2014.

Abstract

Co-occurrence of atrial septal defect and pulmonary valve stenosis is a rare entity for adult population. It is possible to correct both the pulmonary stenosis and the defect in the atrial septum by transcatheter methods. We present a case of right to left shant due to severe pulmonary stenosis and atrial defect which was successfully corrected by transcatheter pulmonary valvuloplasty and closure of the atrial septal defect.

Keywords: Pulmonary stenosis; atrial septal defect.
