Özet
We report the case of a 9-month-old girl with a Scimitar syndrome which was feeding via an anomalous vessel dividing into three tortuous branches and supplying blood to a localized region of the right lower lobe which was successfully occluded using an Amplatzer ® Vascular Plug 4 (AGA Medical, Golden Valley, MN, USA). The percutaneous procedure performed via femoral artery, provided an immediate closure of the vessel, excluding the need for surgical repair. This new device is found to be safe and effective for occlusion of the collaterals, especially large ones in pediatric ages. © 2011 Japanese College of Cardiology.
