Therapies and Procedures

1.	Catheters 05/01/2009 - "Aortico-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) is a rare congenital cardiac defect that is usually managed by surgical or catheter intervention. "
2.	Septal Occluder Device 02/01/2001 - "This article describes the use of Amplatzer occluder devices for two unusual conditions, namely to occlude a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation and to close an aorto-left ventricular tunnel."
3.	Replantation 02/01/1999 - "The basic diseases included the following: congenital atresia of the left coronary artery (n = 2) and atresia of the right coronary artery in a patient with an aortoventricular tunnel (n = 1); stenosis of the left main coronary artery (1) in a patient with Williams syndrome (n = 1), (2) in a patient with familial hypercholesterolemia (n = 1), (3) after the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries (n = 3), (4) after reimplantation of an anomalous left main coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (n = 1), and (5) by compression after a réparation à l'étage ventriculaire procedure (n = 1). "
4.	Coronary Artery Bypass (Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery) 02/01/2012 - "Except for 1 patient who underwent Bentall surgery and another having Wheat surgery, all the patients received aortic valve replacement (AVR), including 7 with double (mitral and aortic) valve replacement (DVR), 6 with mitral valvular plasty, 11 with tricuspid valvular plasty, 8 with coronary artery bypass graft implantation, 1 with aortic-left ventricular tunnel repair, 1 with atrial maze ablation, and 1 with left atrial thrombosis removal. "
5.	Maze Procedure 02/01/2012 - "Except for 1 patient who underwent Bentall surgery and another having Wheat surgery, all the patients received aortic valve replacement (AVR), including 7 with double (mitral and aortic) valve replacement (DVR), 6 with mitral valvular plasty, 11 with tricuspid valvular plasty, 8 with coronary artery bypass graft implantation, 1 with aortic-left ventricular tunnel repair, 1 with atrial maze ablation, and 1 with left atrial thrombosis removal.
