Abstract
The new 2 French Coe radiofrequency (RF) end hole catheter was first used to successfully perforate the atretic pulmonary valve membrane using an antegrade approach in a newborn with intact ventricular septum (IVS). Nine watts of energy for 8 sec was required with simultaneous delivery of a 0.014 in. coronary guidewire coaxially through the end hole RF catheter for balloon valvuloplasty. This new ringed‐tip end hole RF catheter offers considerable advantages to the pediatric interventionalist in the transcatheter therapy in neonates with pulmonary atresia (PA) and IVS. Cathet.
