Transcatheter dilatation of aorta coarctation in a 5-month-old baby - LIVE case
Balloon angioplasty of recurrent aorta coarctation following surgical repair
Operators:
J. Harrisberg, J. Meares
Procedural Analyst:
J. Joshi
Summary
A 5-month-old baby girl with hypoplastic left heart syndrome was born at term (3 Kg) with associated large ASD secundum. A surgical repaired aortic arch with ASD and PDA closing was performed at 2 weeks old. At 5 months, she presented a re-coarctation of the aorta (65 mmHg).
Watch the operators perform a transcatheter balloon dilatation (5 mm) at 8 atmospheres by femoral access on general anaesthesia.
