Abstract
We report two cases of transcatheter-device closure of aortopulmonary windows, a residual defect occurring after previous surgical closure, and a native lesion. The postsurgical defect was closed with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (AGA Medical Corporation, MN). The native lesion was not suitable for an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II device; thus, it was closed using an Amplatzer Duct Occluder (AGA Medical Corporation, MN). The Amplatzer Duct Occluder II provides an additional device for aortopulmonary window closure, but anatomy and defect characteristics dictate the most appropriate device.
