One-step treatment of patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary artery stenosis by cardiac catheterization

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2003 Jun;59(2):271-5; discussion 276. doi: 10.1002/ccd.10507.

Abstract

Coexistence of pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) may lead to overestimating the relative importance of these malformations. This article reports on a patient with a trivial PDA and severe PA stenosis erroneously diagnosed as moderate PDA. He was successfully submitted to simultaneous PA stenting and PDA embolization.
