| Abstract |
|
Aortopulmonary window is an uncommon cardiac anomaly accounting for approximately 0.2-0.6% of all congenital cardiac anomalies in which there is a connection between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk. Since the first report of successful surgical repair, many investigators have advocated surgical closure of all types of aortopulmonary windows using different technique. The majority of aortopulmonary windows require surgical therapy due to extensive size or location. A few cases of interventional closure of APW with double umbrella and buttoned device are reported, but Gianturco coil has not been used previously. A case is described in an infant with a small aortopulmonary window which was closed by Gianturco coil after APW banding. He did not receive corrective operation because his parents who are Jehovah`s Witnesses refused transfusion. Complete occlusion of the defect was achieved without complications. Transcatheter coil closure of a small aortopulmonary window is feasible in infancy and the technique is likely to be applicable in a few cases. |
