Reasons for re-intervention for each patient: (1) postoperative myocardial ischemia; (2) large residual fistula; (3) adjacent normal coronary artery branch at 2 mm; (4) intra-operative movable occluder; (5) postoperative occluder embolization and tricuspid valve pro-lapse; (6) postoperative myocardial ischemia and aortic valve pro-lapse; (7) postoperative myocardial ischemia and severe aortic valve regurgitation; (8) intra-operative myocardial ischemia; (9) adjacent normal coronary artery branch at 3 mm
RCA right coronary artery, LMCA left main coronary artery, LCX left circumflex, RA right atrium, RV right ventricular, LA left atrium, AVP Amplatzer vascular plug, A-V loop arterio-venous wire loop, VSD ventricular septal defect, PDA patent ductus arteriosus
