What a coindence to be pregnant: partial pulmonary venous return abnormality, iatrogenic atrial septal defect, rheumatic mitral stenosis

Abstract

Herein we present a case of concomitant congenital anomalies with an iatrogenic defect. The female patient underwent a percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty due to rheumatic mitral stenosis. Unfortunately, an iatrogenic atrial septal defect (ASD) occurred and also, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return was observed at post-procedure evaluation. The patient had severe symptoms and the right heart chambers were dilated on imaging. But perhaps, the most crucial point was that the patient was planning a pregnancy. After a difficult and patient-involved decision process, the patient underwent to successful robotic surgery for iatrogenic ASD and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. After operation, the patient was asymptomatic and right heart chambers normalized.
