[Transcatheter treatment of combined congenital heart anomalies in an adult cyanotic patient].

Contemporary catheterization techniques allow effective percutaneous transcatheter treatment of congenital heart defects as an attractive alternative to open heart surgery. This case report describes transcatheter treatment of congenital pulmonary valve stenosis and secundum atrial septal defect which were diagnosed in a 31 year old woman who presented with cyanosis. This illustrates difficulties in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease in adult patients and demonstrates that transcatheter techniques in the treatment of these congenital anomalies are effective.
