Key result
Integrated use of hybrid, open surgical, and single ventricle rehabilitation techniques successfully treated a neonate with critical aortic stenosis and iatrogenic mitral injury.
Case Report (n=1)
Integrated hybrid, open surgical, and single ventricle rehabilitation techniques can successfully treat complex iatrogenic mitral injury following balloon aortic valvuloplasty in neonates.
May guide individualized care for rare neonatal iatrogenic injury; leaves open generalizability and need for prospective validation.
Neonatal critical aortic stenosis is life threatening and requires intervention shortly after birth. Early percutaneous aortic valvuloplasty is generally considered to be an effective way to obtain reliable prograde flow. We describe the integrated use of hybrid, open surgical, and single ventricle rehabilitation techniques to successfully treat a neonate with borderline left-sided cardiac structures, who sustained a complication from balloon aortic valvuloplasty.

Ashfaq et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Neonatal critical aortic stenosis with iatrogenic mitral injury (n=1). Integrated use of hybrid, open surgical, and single ventricle rehabilitation techniques was evaluated. Integrated use of hybrid, open surgical, and single ventricle rehabilitation techniques successfully treated a neonate with critical aortic stenosis and iatrogenic mitral injury.
