Abstract

A nonrestrictive atrial septal defect is mandatory in order to maintain an adequate cardiac output or to achieve an acceptable blood mixing in some patients with complex congenital heart defects. We successfully performed a blade balloon septostomy in a patient with a restrictive atrial septal defect who had previously undergone a failed static balloon dilation of the atrial septum.
