Transcatheter closure of aortopulmonary window

Indian Heart J. 2005 Mar-Apr;57(2):161-3.

Abstract

Aortopulmonary window is an uncommon congenital cardiac defect. Most infants presenting with aortopulmonary window will require conventional surgical repair. Experience with transcatheter closure of aortopulmonary window is limited. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with aortopulmonary window, in whom transcatheter closure was performed successfully using Amplatzer ductal occluder device.
