Aortopulmonary window (APW), the presence of a communication between aorta and pulmonary artery, is a rare congenital heart disease, and surgical intervention is the standard for closure. Recently, several cases have been treated with transcatheter device occluders. Here, we report an APW patient treated successfully using a transcatheter closure with a symmetrical membranous ventricular septal occluder. We are the first to report on a case treated with this type of occluder for APW.
主肺动脉窗（APW）是指主动脉与肺动脉之间存在交通，是一种罕见的先天性心脏病，手术干预是闭合该病的标准方法。近来，有几例患者采用经导管装置封堵器进行了治疗。在此，我们报告1例采用对称膜周部室间隔封堵器经导管成功封堵的APW患者。我们是首例报道使用此类封堵器治疗APW的病例。
