Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum is a rare cause of cyanosis in a newborn. The prognosis and treatment of the condition depend on the pulmonary anatomy as well as the state of the right ventricle. We present a case where the patient presented with acute desaturation, and we had to do an emergency pulmonary valvotomy, using coronary wires and balloons, as a lifesaving procedure. The saturation improved on the table, and the patient could be discharged from hospital in a stable state. This particular case shows that opening an atretic pulmonary valve is a viable option and coronary wires and balloons can be used for the purpose. |
