One-step treatment of patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary artery stenosis by cardiac catheterization.
Coexistence of pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) may lead to overestimating the relative importance of these malformations. This article reports on a patient with a trivial PDA and severe PA stenosis erroneously diagnosed as moderate PDA. He was successfully submitted to simultaneous PA stenting and PDA embolization.
