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.
