Abstract

The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, abnormalities in hands and feet, microcephaly and mental retardation. Approximately 30% of subjects with this syndrome have associated congenital heart defects. This presentation describes two cases of patients with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome associated with congenital heart defects: a 25-year-old patient with juxtaductal native aortic coarctation and an 11-month old infant with a large patent ductus
arteriosus. Both patients underwent successful percutaneous intervention, with favorable long-term outcome.
