Repair of iatrogenic left pulmonary artery to left atrial appendage fistula using a covered CP stent: a case report

Cardiol Young. 2024 Apr;34(4):922-923. doi: 10.1017/S1047951123004481. Epub 2024 Jan 22.

Abstract

We report a case of iatrogenic left pulmonary artery-left atrial appendage fistula following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for residual pulmonary artery stenosis in an 11-year-old boy. This rare complication could have been predicted by understanding the anatomical relationship of these structures. In this study, simulation using three-dimensional printing greatly contributed to successful stent placement.

Keywords: balloon angioplasty; complication; three-dimensional printing.
