Abstract
A 5 year old girl with a haemodynamically significant mid-muscular ventricu lar septal defect (VSD) had successful transcatheter closure using the Ampl atzer VSD occluder. This device passes through a small diameter sheath and can be easily retrieved or repositioned. These properties may make it a sui table device for closure of large mid-muscular defects in small children.
