Abstract
In low birth weight neonates primary valve ablation by a visually guided Fogarty catheter ensures effective disruption of the valvular obstructive mechanism. The technique maintains the transurethral visual standard and avoids the difficult manipulation of wired electrodes in a restricted field. It is devoid of radiation exposure and its simplicity enables safe performance at the neonatal intensive care unit, where the support needs of this fragile subset of patients are optimally provided for.
