Abstract

We report a case of a residual aortopulmonary window where a new Konar-MF occluder device was used to close the defect. This device has a low profile and conforms to the anatomy of aortopulmonary window very nicely without unnecessary protrusion on either side. This report highlights the advantage of Konar-MF occluder device for closure of such defects.
