  • Title: Transcatheter coil closure of a right pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula in an ill neonate.
    Author: Slack MC, Jedeikin R, Jones JS.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2000 Jul; 50(3):330-3. PubMed ID: 10878631.
    Abstract:
    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.
