Abstract
A 9-year-old boy was found to have ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSVA) and aortic coarctation. Following relief of aortic coarctation by balloon angioplasty, transcatheter coil occlusion of the RSVA was performed successfully under transesophageal echocardiographic and fluoroscopic monitoring; bioptome-assisted delivery of 0.052" Gianturco coil was undertaken via a 7 Fr sheath stabilized by an 0.035" guidewire passing through the RSVA and the sheath. This report details the technique of occlusion. Copyright 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Entities:
