Abstract

A 11month old girl was diagnosed to have a large aorto pulmonary collateral during evaluation for respiratory distress and seizures. Echocardiographic evaluation showed a large collateral from the descending aorta to left lung with ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction of 40%). This was confirmed on computed tomography angiogram (CT) scan. The collateral was closed with Amplatzer Ductal Occluder II device under fluoroscopic guidance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of large aorto-pulmonary collateral closed successfully with an Amplatzer Ductal Occluder II device.

Keywords: ADO II device; Aortopulmonary collateral; Dilated LV; Hypocalcemia; Ventricular dysfunction.
