Balloon embolization during atrial septostomy.

چکیده
SUMMARY The case of an infant with complete transposition is presented. Embolization occurred from a balloon catheter used in performing a Rashkind septostomy. Additional Indexing Words: Oxygenation Renal infarction T HE USE of atrial septostomy as a temporary means of improving systemic oxygenation in infants with transposition of the great vessels was introduced by Rashkind and Miller in 1966.1 Results of this technic have generally been satisfactory, at least on a short-term basis, with few complications other than occasional rupture of the balloon during septostomy.2 The purpose of this paper is to report a case of embolization of a portion of the balloon during atrial septostomy.

Background: Balloon atrial septostomy is an emergent procedure in pediatric cardiology. Nowadays, most patients in need of the procedure have acceptable outcomes after surgical repair. Thus, it is important to perform this procedure as safe as possible. By performing early arterial switch operation and prostaglandin infusion, the rate of balloon atrial septostomy has markedly decreased. Howeve...
متن کاملBalloon atrial septostomy under two dimensional echocardiographic control.
Two dimensional echocardiography has been used to guide balloon atrial septostomy in five cases of transposition of the great arteries. A single lumen balloon catheter was used. The catheter can be accurately located within the left atrium before inflation of the balloon, thus avoiding some of the traumatic accidents possible during septostomy. The balloon can be observed creating the atrial de...

The palliation afforded by balloon atrial septostomy to 124 infants with transposition of the great arteries was assessed in terms of survival to 6 months of age without the need for further intervention. Prediction of success or failure in relation to palliation was significantly affected by the presence of associated ventricular septal defect, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, or pe...
