Concurrent transcatheter therapy of valvar aortic stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus.

A 1.5-year-old child underwent transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and balloon aortic valvuloplasty concurrently with excellent immediate and follow-up results. Technical details of concurrent treatment of both PDA and aortic stenosis by transcatheter methodology and a review of utility of transcatheter techniques in managing two or more cardiac defects simultaneously in the catheterization laboratory are presented.
