Transcatheter treatment of Lutembacher`s Syndrome.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;18(2):105-6.

Lutembacher`s syndrome is a rare combination of atrial septal defect (ASD) and rheumatic mitral stenosis. Traditionally, this condition is treated surgically. We present a case of Lutembacher`s syndrome that was successfully treated with percutaneous transcatheter mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) using the Inoue balloon. Closure of ASD was successfully achieved with an Amplatzer atrial septal occluder under transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) guidance without general anesthesia.
