Create a Syndrome When Treating a Disease: Acquired Lutembacher Syndrome

Özet

Combination of atrial septal defect (ASD) and mitral stenosis (MD) is defined as Lutembacher syndrome (LS). MD is mostly acquired (rheumatic heart disease), as congenital MD is very rare. The percutaneous interventions for MD have become widespread. The ASD may become either congenital or iatrogenic. The coexistence of spontaneous or iatrogenic ASD and acquired MD is known as acquired LS. Here, we report a case of acquired LS.
