Abstract

Catheter closure of membranous ventricular septal defects is generally not considered feasible in small infants. We report the successful closure of a membranous ventricular septal defect in a 1.8-kg infant with bilateral femoral artery occlusion using Amplatzer Duct Occluder II additional size device. The ventricular septal defect was crossed from the right ventricle, and the device was deployed using transthoracic echocardiographic guidance.
