Although rare, a congenital direct fistula connection between the proximal right pulmonary artery and the left atrium can present as cyanosis in the newborn. We report the first case in which catheter-based coil closure of such a fistula in a neonate resulted in rapid clinical improvement, obviating the need for surgical repair.
Congenital abnormalities of the portal venous system are rare. There are few radiological descriptions of intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt detected in the perinatal period. We report a congenital portosystemic shunt that was detected by US and treated with coil embolisation in the neonatal period.
