Abstract
Rashkind and Miller reported the “Creation of an Atrial Septal Defect without Thoracotomy: a palliative approach to complete transposition of the great vessels” in 1966 1. Although a transcatheter technique to treat congenital heart disease had been reported more than ten years earlier2, the impact of Rashkind and Miller’s report on patients with d-transposition of the great arteries and on interventional cardiology in general cannot be overstated. Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) offered effective palliation for d-transposition of the great arteries and it is still used routinely in these patients.
