Abstract:A 10-year-old boy who had previously undergone surgical correction for tetralogy of Fallot was referred for cardiac catheterization because of recurrent symptomatic postoperative heart failure owing to major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs). A successful occlusion of these MAPCAs was achieved percutaneously using the Amplatzer vascular plug and a detachable coil. Transcatheter occlusion of MAPCAs after surgical correction is an effective method for treatment of post-operative heart failure.
