Abstract

Different devices have been used for percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Over the past 6 months, we have used the Amplatzer duct occluder for VSDs associated with tunnel-shaped aneurysm in three patients here at our institution. Due to the anatomic resemblance between such VSDs and the duct occluder, we selected this device for percutaneous closure. There was trivial residual shunt in one patient. All three patients tolerated the procedure well and there were no untoward complications.
