“…The indication and modality of treatment of Gerbode defects remain controversial. Some authors suggest that all LV–RA defects should be repaired, regardless of their size to preclude infective endocarditis while others report that the need for closure relies on the severity of the symptoms, which depends upon several factors such as flow volume, shunt magnitude, and comorbidities 5–7 . Surgical closure has been traditionally considered as the Gold standard of all congenital and acquired Gerbode shunts with excellent reported outcomes 1 .…”

The KONAR‐Multifunctional™ VSD Occluder (MFO) (Lifetech) is one of the most recent additions to the armamentarium of transcatheter therapies. The device offers superior technical features and experienced interventionists having been using it in risky and complex anatomies. Herein, we report the first use of the MFO device to close a congenital Gerbode‐type perimembranous ventricular septal defect in an 18‐year‐old girl. The device was retrogradely implanted into proper position under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance. Immediate and 12‐month‐follow‐up confirmed successful outcomes with complete shunt closure and resolution of tricuspid regurgitation.

“…Los defectos de Gerbode tanto congénitos como adquiridos se han corregido tradicionalmente de forma quirúrgica. Algunos autores defienden el cierre de todos los defectos de Gerbode, independientemente de su tamaño, para evitar la endocarditis infecciosa (4) . Se ha demostrado que el cierre quirúrgico es factible con un buen resultado, aunque en un estudio donde se recopilan los defectos tratados de forma quirúrgica como complicación tras una cirugía cardíaca los resultados de éxito son moderados con un 75% de éxito (3) .…”

El defecto de Gerbode, es decir, la comunicación entre el ventrículo izquierdo y la aurícula derecha es un hallazgo bastante raro. Generalmente es congénito, aunque también puede presentarse en forma adquirida especialmente tras cirugía cardíaca. El cierre quirúrgico es el tratamiento de elección. Existen pocas comunicaciones de cierre percutáneo en la edad pediátrica. En este caso se documenta el cierre percutáneo exitoso de un defecto de Gerbode en un niño de 3 años con dilatación masiva de la aorta después de una reparación quirúrgica de Bentall. El resultado fue excelente, sin fugas residuales ni mal funcionamiento de la válvula protésica.
