  • Title: Transcatheter closure of a residual aorto-left ventricular tunnel: report of a case with a 6-year follow-up.
    Author: Djukic M, Djordjevic SA, Dähnert I.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2017 Oct; 27(8):1618-1621. PubMed ID: 28414001.
    Abstract:
    Aorto-left ventricular tunnel is an exceedingly rare congenital cardiac defect. Early surgical closure is the treatment of choice. Residual or recurrent tunnel and aortic valve insufficiency are well-recognised complications after surgical repair. In this article, we report on successful transcatheter closure of a residual aorto-left ventricular tunnel using an Amplatzer duct occluder in a 7-year-old boy. The outcome after 6 years of follow-up is encouraging.
