Abstract :
Aortopulmonary window (APW) is a relatively rare congenital disease consisting of a septal defect between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery, creating a left-to-right shunt (1-4). Reports on transcatheter treatment of the condition are limited to a small number of cases. We present the case of a 10-month old child who was diagnosed with APW after consulting for recurrent lower respiratory tract infection and was treated by the transcatheter approach.
