ABSTRACT
A 6-month-old baby girl, with a history of 2 months of intensive care management and two episodes of cardiac arrest, was transferred from another European country to initiate the "Giessen approach" for end-stage heart failure in children. At the admission, left ventricular ejection fraction was 20%. Severe mitral valve regurgitation and severe left atrial dilatation were present. Right ventricular function was preserved, and tricuspid valve regurgitation was mild. As a result, the patient underwent surgical pulmonary artery banding. Additionally, unloading of the left atrium was achieved by implanting an 8 mm atrial flow regulator device through a hybrid per-atrial approach. Two months after the procedure, the patient was progressively weaned from the inotropes and transferred to the ward.
