    Abstract:
    Atrial septostomy is a palliative treatment for severe pulmonary hypertension. We report the insertion of a novel custom-made fenestrated Amplatzer atrial septostomy device following repeat atrial septostomy for severe pulmonary hypertension in a terminally ill patient with scleroderma resulting in 6 months of palliation.
