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.
