Right-to-left shunt following repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection: a novel use of the Rashkind double-umbrella occlusion device.
A patient with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection complicated by postoperative occlusion of the distal superior vena cava and a baffle leak causing right-to-left shunt is described. Surgery was avoided by balloon dilation and stenting of the superior vena cava. The baffle leak was closed with a Rashkind double-umbrella device.
