Aorto-left ventricular tunnel is an extremely rare CHD clinically impressing as aortic regurgitation. This is usually corrected surgically, sometimes by percutaneous catheter intervention. Recurrent aorto-left ventricular tunnel has been reported occasionally. Reports of percutaneous closure of such recurrent aorto-left ventricular tunnels are rare. We hereby describe successful closure of a recurrent aorto-left ventricular tunnel with an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II.

Background: The Magenta Elevate is a 9-F, self-expanding, catheter-mounted pump delivered sheathed through a commercially available 10-F femoral introducer over the wire to the left ventricle (LV), providing temporary hemodynamic support up to an equivalent of normal cardiac output.
Objectives: The authors sought to assess the feasibility and outcomes of Elevate-supported high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI) in a first-in-human study and study the hemodynamic impact of high-output support during prolonged interventional left main coronary artery (LM) occlusions.
Methods: In this study, 14 patients underwent Elevate-supported HR-PCI, with 8 patients undergoing 20 prolonged (39 ± 16 seconds) balloon occlusions of an unprotected LM.

Aorto-left ventricular tunnel, also known as aorto-left ventricular fistula, is a rare CHD characterised by an abnormal connection between the aorta and the left ventricle. This article presents a comprehensive case report on aorto-left ventricular tunnel, encompassing clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, treatment options, and outcomes, with a specific focus on the necessity of early surgical intervention.
