Inducing tricuspid regurgitation as palliation

Pediatr Cardiol. 1992 Apr;13(2):110-1. doi: 10.1007/BF00798217.

Abstract

We describe a technique for palliative decompression of the hypertensive right ventricle seen in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS), utilizing a bioptome catheter for partial tricuspid avulsion.
