Combined percutaneous treatment for pulmonary valve stenosis and atrial septal defect in an adult patient.
Pulmonary valve stenosis and atrial septal defect are common forms of congenital heart disease; however, their association is relatively rare. When the two conditions are present simultaneously, significant left-to-right shunt is often prevented by the outflow obstruction, which protects the pulmonary bed until adulthood. This work describes a case of simultaneous percutaneous treatment of both congenital malformations. Although these procedures have been applied in isolation as methods of treatment, this case demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of a combined percutaneous treatment.
