Intervention with Balloon Valvuloplasty followed by Patent Ductus Arteriosus Stent in a Patient with Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum
Han Hyuk Lim, Young Deuk Kim, Jae Hwan Lee, Mea Young Chang, Hong Ryang Kil
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(11):1256-1259.   Published online November 15, 2005
Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) is rare, less than 1% of congenital heart disease. It needs a therapeutic approach according to its individual morphologic feature. Surgical treatment of valvotomy and modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or non-surgical interventional catheter balloon valvuloplasty can be used for mild to moderate hypoplasia of right ventricle. Fontan operation can be considered for less optimum...
A Case of Renovascular Hypertension Controlled by Renal Artery Embolization
Jung Hun Yew, Young Deuk Kim, Byung Seok Shin, Hong Ryang Gil
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(2):212-215.   Published online February 15, 2005
Renal artery stenosis is a major cause of renovascular hypertension and the most common cause of treatable secondary hypertension. There are several methods to treat renal artery stenosis, including surgery, percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty(PTRA), and renal artery stenting(RAS). But, renal artery embolization can be tried in atherosclerotic stenosis, multiple stenosis, microaneurysm, and stenosis difficult to try PTRA or RAS. We...
