title: Percutaneous closure of the acquired gerbode shunt using the amplatzer duct occluder in a 3-month old patient.
abstract: The Gerbode shunt, known as the left ventricle to the right atrial communication, is a rather rare finding, following surgical closure of septal defects. Even though the surgical closure is accepted as a treatment of choice, we report a successful percutaneous transcatheter closure of the Gerbode shunt in a 3-months old baby who weighed 3 kilograms.
