An aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital cardiac defect. In the majority of symptomatic neonates and infants, primary surgical repair is the treatment of choice. In selected infants, catheter closure of the defect with a device may be feasible. We report on the successful closure of an AP window in a 12 month old infant, using a 6mm Amplatzer septal occluder. The procedure and follow-up were uneventful.
主肺动脉窗是一种罕见的先天性心脏缺陷。在大多数有症状的新生儿和婴儿中,一期手术修复是首选治疗方法。对于部分婴儿,使用装置经导管闭合缺损可能是可行的。我们报告了一例使用6毫米Amplatzer房间隔封堵器成功闭合12个月大婴儿主肺动脉窗的病例。手术过程及随访均顺利。
