Reconfiguration of the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II 5 months after occlusion of venovenous collateral in a bidirectional cavopulmonary circulation.
Venovenous anomalous vessels are a common complication seen in the bidirectional cavopulmonary circulation. In this report, we describe the use of the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II and subsequent demonstration of nitinol device memory with significant device reconfiguration at 5 months follow-up.
