  • Title: Transcatheter treatment of a case of Lutembacher syndrome.
    Author: Chau EM, Lee CH, Chow WH.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2000 May; 50(1):68-70. PubMed ID: 10816284.
    Abstract:
    Lutembacher syndrome refers to the rare combination of congenital atrial septal defect and acquired mitral stenosis. This condition is usually treated by mitral valve operation with concomitant closure of the atrial septal defect. We describe a case of Lutembacher syndrome that was treated successfully with percutaneous transcatheter mitral commissurotomy using the Inoue balloon and closure of the atrial septal defect with the Amplatzer atrial septal defect occluder.
