Abstract

A 53-year-old man with tetralogy of Fallot had been palliated with two classic Blalock-Taussig shunts. Cardiac catheterization in our center revealed acquired atresia of the pulmonary valve. We perforated and dilated the valve as a palliative procedure with a new system using radiofrequency energy.
