Abstract

KONAR-MultifunctionalTM VSD Occluder (Lifetech, Shenzhen, China) is one of the most recent additions to the armamentarium of device closure interventions offering special features to tackle complex cardiac anatomies. Herein, we report the first use of the KONAR-MFO in an 8.5-year-old female patient (27 kg/129 cm) with stage III palliated univentricular heart to close an acquired post-operative tunnel-like communication (5 mm long × 2.6 mm large) between the right anterior non-coronary aortic sinus and the rudimentary right ventricular cavity. The shunt was diagnosed two and a half years after bulboventricular foramen surgical enlargement. The 5× 3 mm KONAR-MFO was retrogradely implanted under ultrasound and biplane fluoroscopic guidance. Immediate and 12-month follow-up confirmed successful outcomes with complete shunt closure and preserved aortic valve competence.
