Abstract

We report the case of a 22-year-old female patient with complex congenital heart disease and multiple cardiac surgeries who came to our attention for right heart failure and hemolysis 3 years after aortic valve replacement surgery. She was diagnosed with aorta-to-right ventricle fistula and was efficiently treated with retrograde implantation of an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II device using three-dimensional multimodality fusion imaging.

Keywords: Amplatzer Duct Occluder II; aorta-to-right ventricle fistula; device closure.
