Transcatheter closure of congenital ventricular septal defects using the Amplatzer Duct Occluder II device: preliminary data from a Tunisian monocentric study.

Introduction: Percutaneous closure of congenital ventricular septal defects (VSDs) represents a promising alternative to surgery with lower rate of complications and shorter hospital stay. Its main limitation is the choice of the appropriate device for each type of defect.

Aim: To report the experience of the service of cardiology (Sahloul hospital, Sousse, Tunisia) in percutaneous closure of congenital VSDs with Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (ADOII).
