Abstract

Long term follow up studies have shown that transcatheter closure of perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect (PmVSD) can be done safely and successfully. One of the most serious complications of VSD device closure is complete atrioventricular block which has been reported in 3-18% is various studies following VSD device closure. Amplatzar Duct Occluder II (ADO-II) device is now commonly being used for closure of small to moderate sized PmVSD. Complete heart block has not been reported with ADO-II device. We are reporting 2 cases of complete heart block following transcatheter closure of PmVSD using ADO-II device where sinus rhythm was established following early surgical removal of the device.
