Abstract:
Transcatheter interventions are widely used for diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease. Complications associated with transcatheter interventions are uncommon. However, when they occur they are most often self- limited. Rarely, however, serious catheter related complications occur that may require emergent surgical intervention. In this case, the right common iliac artery was disrupted during transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty during the treatment of congenital aortic stenosis in a 2-week-old baby. After immediate surgical intervention with bleeding control using two balloon catheters the baby did well. Here we report this case and review the medical literature.
