چکیده
Sir, An aortopulmonary window (APW) is a rare cardiac malformation, first reported by Elliotson, is found in 0.1% of patients with congenital cardiac lesions.[1] In most cases, surgical repair is undertaken during infancy although isolated cases have been reported of transcatheter device closures. We report our experience of transcatheter APW closure via antegrade and retrograde methods using a novel device Amplatzer duct occluder II (AGA Medical Corporation, MN, USA).
