| Popis: |
A 16 year old adolescent was admitted to hospital for investigation of a transient left monoplegia. The clinical, electric and radiological examinations were all normal. Echocardiography showed no abnormality of cardiac structures or function. Contrast echocardiography was performed and showed a right-to-left shunt suggesting a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula which was confirmed at angiography. The fistula was closed at catheterisation by a detachable balloon: in a second procedure, the balloon was deflated and contrast studies showed a recurrence of the right-to-left shunt. An Amplatzer 8/6 duct occluder was implanted with excellent results and no recurrence at 3 months. |
