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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
