Transcatheter Repair of Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage Using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug in a Postoperative Patient With Tetralogy of Fallot
Pediatric Cardiology, 06/04/2012
Baspinar O et al. – The association of tetralogy of Fallot with a partial anomalous pulmonary vein is rare. Although this combination is generally treated with surgery, in this paper they present the case of an 8–year–old boy whose anomalous venous drainage was successfully closed with an Amplatzer vascular plug after a total correction of a tetralogy of Fallot. The patient was asymptomatic at his last follow–up.
