Congenital Heart Disease in the Adult: Interventional Therapy

  • Chapter
Cardiovascular Medicine

Abstract

  • Balloon valvuloplasty and balloon angioplasty now are applied effectively to all four cardiac valves and all major blood vessels in children with cardiovascular diseases.

  • Aortic valvuloplasty is done in children with valvular aortic stenosis with a systolic gradient greater than or equal to 50 mm Hg at rest, or a peak gradient of 40 to 50 mm Hg with symptoms or signs of ischemia.

  • The most typical form of congenital mitral stenosis consists of thickened leaflets and shortened chordae tendineae with decreased interchordal spaces. Other forms include supravalve mitral membrane and a parachute mitral valve.

  • The techniques for relieving congenital or surgically acquired vascular lesions by balloon angioplasty and stents now are routine and employed with variable success for stenoses anywhere within the great vessels.

  • The discrete, shelf-like coarctation of the aorta represents the ideal lesion for successful dilation.

  • Obstruction to systemic veins in patients with congenital heart disease usually is iatrogenic.

  • Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis is very rare and usually occurs with other congenital heart lesions with or without associated surgical intervention.

  • The final suitability of an atrial septal defect for transcatheter closure is determined by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and confirmed during cardiac catheterization with an accurate balloon sizing of the defect.

  • The major indications for closing a patent foramen ovale (PFO) are significant right to left shunting through it, and a documented central nervous system (CNS) embolic event in the presence of a PFO.

  • Interventional cardiologists have been occluding the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) nonsurgically for almost four decades.
