Abstract
Many patients with single ventricle physiology suffer from atrioventricular valve (AVV) regurgitation which may worsen their cardiac function and cause symptoms. It has been postulated that elimination of the nondominant hypoplastic AVV regurgitation, might improve the clinical status in patients post-Fontan surgery. We describe a case of hypoplastic left heart variant, post Fontan surgery who had severe left AVV regurgitation and underwent percutaneous transcatheter occlusion of the hypoplastic left AVV, using a VSD occluder device. At 3 months post procedure, the patient is improved. Transcatheter closure of a regurgitant hypoplastic AVV in a patient with single ventricle helps to improve the patient's cardiac function and clinical status.
