Acquired aortopulmonary fistula.

An acquired aortopulmonary artery fistula is rare. We describe a case with an aortic arch aneurysm communicating with the main pulmonary artery. The diagnosis was made on the basis of transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography.

Transcatheter closure of aortopulmonary window using Amplatzer device.

Two cases of transcatheter closure of aortopulmonary window (APW) using an Amplatzer duct occluder in one and a septal occluder device in the second are described. Transcatheter device closure of APW should be considered when anatomy is favorable in terms of location and size of the defect with absence of associated anomalies.
