AbstractDirect communication between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium is rare. We report a case that was first detected in utero and confirmed by a two-dimensional echocardiographic study performed postnatally. The patient remained asymptomatic, and hence was managed conservatively. The fistula gradually decreased in size and closed spontaneously at 15 months of age. The rarity of the case is discussed.

Abstract A fistula between the pulmonary artery and the left atrium is a rare entity and its diagnosis is uncommon in the neonatal period. There are more reported surgical treatments in the literature than with a transcatheter closure. We report the case of a prenatal diagnosis of a large fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium with successful transcatheter closure with an Amplatzer duct occluder II 6/4 mm.
