Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty following surgical repair of sinus venosus atrial septal defect

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1991 Aug;23(4):297-9. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810230414.

Abstract

Mitral valvuloplasty performed 5 y after repair of a sinus venosus ASD was difficult because of a thickened septum, but resulted in improved mitral valve opening and did not lead to ASD. Thus, prior repair of a sinus venosus ASD may not be an absolute contraindication to mitral valvuloplasty.
