Percutaneous transhepatic stenting of interatrial septum in an infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a complex congenital heart defect that demands several surgical interventions and heart catheterizations. An unrestrictive interatrial communication is essential to maintain low pulmonary vascular resistance and achieve complete Fontan pathway palliation. We...

| Summary: | Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a complex congenital heart defect that demands several surgical interventions and heart catheterizations. An unrestrictive interatrial communication is essential to maintain low pulmonary vascular resistance and achieve complete Fontan pathway palliation. We report a case of an infant with HLHS and restrictive interatrial communication, initally treated with percutaneous static balloon septostomy and later with a transhepatic stent implantation. |
