| Popis: | Although rare, a congenital direct fistula connection between the proximal right pulmonary artery and the left atrium can present as cyanosis in the newborn. We report the first case in which catheter-based coil closure of such a fistula in a neonate resulted in rapid clinical improvement, obviating the need for surgical repair. |
