Abstract
A 42-year-old woman with isolated right ventricular hypoplasia underwe nt operation. To determine the optimal procedure, we temporarily occlu ded the atrial septal defect with a balloon catheter that was introduc ed through the right atrial appendage. The hemodynamics were stable th roughout the occlusion test. Simple closure of the atrial septal defec t was safely accomplished. Intraoperative occlusion test with the ball oon catheter was a good alternative to preoperative occlusion test. (C ) 1998 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
