title: Percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder in a dextrocardia patient.
abstract: In this article we report an unusual case of dextrocardia patient with perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) whose defect is closed by percutaneous method with Amplatzer Duct Occluder-II device. To our best knowledge, this was the first time this device has been used to close a membranous defect in a patient with dextrocardia. Our case demonstrates the feasibility of percutaneous VSD closure in challenging patients by using appropiate techniques and devices for particular patients.
