Interventional therapy for multiple cardiac defects.

ABSTRACT

We describe a patient with a rare combination of coronary artery disease and congenital heart disease. The patient underwent successful complex and multivessel coronary angioplasty, balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty by the Inoue balloon and transcatheter closure of an atrial septal defect in a staged manner. It is technically feasible and safe to perform multiple interventions as an alternative to open heart surgery.
