- In recent years, the technique of percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty has been applied to patients with congenital heart disease. Lesions that have been successfully treated by this technique include pulmonary valvular stenosis, 1,2 aortic valvular stenosis, 3 coarctation of the aorta 4,5 and restenosis of coarctation of the aorta after previous surgical repair. 6 We describe the successful use of this procedure in dilating a severely stenotic Blalock-Taussig (B-T) systemic-to-pulmonary artery (PA) anastomosis in a patient whose complex cyanotic heart malformation was not amenable to surgical correction.
