Overview
Percutaneous approach
Traditionally, Lutembacher's syndrome has been treated surgically.[1] Nowadays, it can be treated with percutaneous transcathetar mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) using the Inoue balloon.[2] The Inoue technique has become the procedure of choice around the world with excellent long term results.[3] The atrial septal defect was closed with an Amplatzer atrial septal occluder under transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) guidance without general anesthesia.[2] By combining these two techniques in the same patient at the same cardiac catheterization, percutaneous management of Lutembacher's syndrome can obviate the morbidity and mortality associated with cardiac surgery, the psychological trauma of a thoracotomy scar, the prolonged hospital stay followed by another prolonged period of home convalescence and the possibility of repeat thoracotomy for mitral restenosis.[1]
