Combined percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty and atrial septal defect closure for pulmonary valvular stenosis and associated secundum atrial septal defect in an adult.
Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is the treatment of choice for congenital pulmonary valve stenosis, and percutaneous closure of secundum atrial septal defects has become a promising alternative to surgery in selected patients. We report a case of combined percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty and secundum atrial septal defect occlusion in an adult patient.
