The treatment of choice for an aortic-right ventricular fistula is surgical repair; however, transcatheter treatment of left to right shunt using an occluding device has recently increased. We report a 12-year-old boy who weighed 45 kilograms and presented with an asymptomatic heart murmur. He was diagnosed with aortic-right ventricular fistula. Color Doppler echocardiography revealed a 3-millimeter aortic-right ventricular fistula that was 5 mm from the right coronary artery, left to right flow, pressure gradient of 100 millimeters of mercury (mmHg); good left ventricle function, ejection fraction of 70.0%, and right ventricular systolic pressure of 40 mmHg (SBP 120 mmHg) with a normal coronary artery pattern. He successfully underwent transcatheter closure using an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II with transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy guidance.

Abstract Acquired and congenital left ventricular to right atrial communication is rare, but nowadays, the frequency of the iatrogenic subgroup is increasing. Successful transcatheter closure of these defects with different devices has been reported. Herein, we presented successful closure of left ventricular to right atrial communication with Amplatzer Duct Occluder 2 after attempting to close with a failed Amplatzer Vascular Plug II device in a 7-year-old girl. This report supports that transcatheter closure of iatrogenic Gerbode defect with Amplatzer Duct Occluder 2 device is safe and effective.

Abstract A fistula between the pulmonary artery and the left atrium is a rare entity and its diagnosis is uncommon in the neonatal period. There are more reported surgical treatments in the literature than with a transcatheter closure. We report the case of a prenatal diagnosis of a large fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium with successful transcatheter closure with an Amplatzer duct occluder II 6/4 mm.
