Objective: To determine effectiveness and safety of echocardiography guided bed side Balloon Atrial Septostomy (BAS) in dextro transposition of great Arteries (dTGA) with intact ventricular septum (IVS) at a public sector tertiary care hospital Karachi, Pakistan.
Four patients with TGA intact septum had successful balloon atrial septostomy. One neonate with infra-cardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) underwent surgery but expired.
Born on November 15, at Liverpool Women's Hospital, Alba was immediately transferred to Alder Hey Children's Hospital where she underwent her first procedure, a balloon septostomy, within the first few hours of her life.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of balloon atrial septostomy under transthoracic Echocardiographic guidance in ward setting in patients with transposition of great arteries.
She was diagnosed with PAH at the age of 5 and had undergone blade followed by balloon atrial septostomy and then subcutaneous (SC) treprostinil was started.
