  • Title: Reduction of a previous atrial septostomy in a patient with end-stage pulmonary hypertension by a manually fenestrated device.
    Author: Baglini R, Scardulla C.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Revasc Med; 2010; 11(4):264.e9-11. PubMed ID: 20934666.
    Abstract:
    A case of profound systemic oxygen desaturation after atrial septostomy in a patient with primitive pulmonary hypertension is reported. A new method to correct such severe complication of atrial septostomy is described, consisting in a graded reduction of the right to left atrial shunt by deployment of a manually perforated atrial septal closure device.
