Transcatheter closure of aortic sinus to left atrial fistula caused by erosion of amplatzer septal occluder

One year after Amplatzer™ device closure of an atrial septal defect, an aortic to left atrial fistula was diagnosed in a patient who developed a new onset murmur with no other symptoms. The fistula was closed with a 4‐mm Amplatzer Septal Occluder™ during a transcatheter procedure, avoiding the need for cardiac surgical repair. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
