We present the benefits of advanced multimodality imaging and virtual reality modelling in the diagnosis and treatment planning of a child with aneurysms after numerous interventions for treatment of a hypoplastic aortic arch and coarctation.
We report the first-stage percutaneous palliation in a newborn with a rare heterotaxy syndrome variant including interrupted inferior vena cava, partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, and restrictive interatrial communication. Virtual reality imaging aided visualisation, decision-making, and planning. Successful atrial septoplasty performed via the internal jugular vein and anomalous pulmonary vein was followed by stenting of ductus arteriosus.
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is established as a safe and effective method of treating patients with disfunction of right ventricular outflow tract. Modifications of this method allow for an increasingly wider use of this less invasive treatment. We present a staged percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation into a single-branch pulmonary artery in a paediatric patient with tetralogy of Fallot after patch repair.
