title: Successful combined orthotopic liver transplant and transcatheter management of atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and peripheral pulmonic stenosis in a small infant with Alagille syndrome.
abstract: We report on a 4-kg infant with Alagille syndrome and congenital heart disease consisting of atrial septal defect (ASD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and severe peripheral pulmonic stenosis. He underwent successful orthotopic liver transplant along with catheter closure of the ASD and PDA using the Amplatzer device and placement of Palmaz stents in both pulmonary arteries.
