Introduction: Right ventricular outflow tract stenting has emerged as a key palliative intervention for infants with tetralogy of Fallot who are not suitable candidates for complete repair. Although the Blalock-Taussig shunt remains the standard palliative approach for tetralogy of Fallot patients over one year of age, the potential of right ventricular outflow tract stenting in this older age group has not been widely explored. In this study, we present our experience with right ventricular outflow tract stenting in children beyond one year of age.

- - The KONAR-MFO is a versatile medical device first used in humans in 2013 that offers flexibility and improved delivery, making it suitable for both pediatric and adult patients with complex heart defects.
- - This study reviews three rare cases treated with the KONAR-MFO for conditions like ALCAPA, post-myocardial infarction VSR, and PVL after mitral valve replacement, all of which showed excellent outcomes within a year.
- - Follow-ups indicated complete closure of lesions without major complications, highlighting successful transcatheter management for patients deemed high-risk for surgery.
Introduction: Ventricular septal defect is one of the commonest heart defect in children and closure of this defect with devices has seen a rapid progression over a period of time. The availability of new and safer devices has made the transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect a suitable option even in young children.
Aim: The study was done to evaluate the feasibility and complications of device closure of ventricular septal defect in children weighing 10 kg or less with different types of devices.
