Abstract:
This report describes a female infant with a rare chromosome defect, del. 12 (q22-24.1), who has severe pulmonary valve stenosis, an atrial septal defect, and a small muscular ventricular septal defect. At 4 months of age a balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. During the procedure, a large aberrant artery from the aorta to a sequestration of the right lower lobe of lung was found. The flow-off from the sequestration was into a dilated left atrium. The single artery supplying the sequestration was successfully occluded using an Amplatzer Duct Occluder device. There were no complications and the infant remains well at 1-year follow-up.
