Cardiac perforation during catheterization in an infant with pulmonary valve stenosis: successful outcomes by a hybrid approach

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

We report a case in which a 10-month-old infant underwent an unsuccessful attempt at percutaneous pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty (PBV) due to cardiac perforation. The child was subsequently managed by median sternotomy, suture of the bleeding site in the right atrium and intraoperative PBV through a sheath placed in the right ventricular outflow tract.
