title: Novel non-surgical method of managing cardiac perforation during percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy.
abstract: We describe a new technique of sealing cardiac perforation resulting in cardiac tamponade during transvenous mitral commissurotomy by percutaneous instillation of cyanoacrylate glue at the perforation site, thus avoiding surgery.
