This week we review a recent report from China on transcatheter closure of peri-membranous VSD's with the Amplatzer ADO II device. Reported results are outstanding and this week's report is one of several from China demonstrating efficacy and safety to this approach. Despite this, this procedure is rarely performed in the west. Why might that be? Do we need 'local data' to adopt an approach or can we proceed based upon data from another location where procedural indications may be different? We speak with the director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Dr. Shabana Shahanavaz about this question based upon her editorial on this impressive Chinese work. doi: 10.1161/JAHA.121.022651 and doi: 10.1161/JAHA.122.024963
