Abstract
A neonate with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IV S) underwent successful retrograde transcatheter perforation of the pu lmonary valve, using a 2 Fr radio-frequency catheter with subsequent a nterograde balloon dilation of the valve. Due to persistent hypoxemia, the neonate underwent placement of a 4-mm modified Blalock-Taussig sh unt. Transcatheter retrograde transductal perforation of the pulmonic valve in PA/IVS is feasible and may be a potential alternative to ante rograde perforation. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
