Abstract: Amplatzer device closure of large atrial septal defects is challenging. A large device tends to malalign with the plane of the interatrial septum or prolapses through the defect. We describe a balloon assisted technique which has been successfully used in over 300 cases without a single technical failure.

The typical pathological features are sequestration of a segment of the lung, usually the right lower lobe, with arterial supply arising from the abdominal aorta, and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection, with the sequestered segment draining to the inferior caval vein. The typical angiographic features of an infant with Scimitar syndrome. is presented in this article Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT /library/oar/handle/123456789/4129 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z
