Percutaneous Pulmonary Balloon Valvotomy and PDA Stent Insertion for Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum has continued to have a high mortality and morbidity. The initial palliation is commonly a pulmonary valvotomy to achieve right ventricular decompression with or without a systemic to pulmonary shunt. There are only a few publications reporting practical experience with ductal stenting in neonates with pulmonary atresia. We report a case of pulmonary valvotomy followed of PDA stent insertion for the treatment of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.
