Neo-cusp Reconstruction Procedure for Aortic Regurgitation Induced by Transcatheter Occluder Device for Ventricular Septal Defect Closure.

Aortic regurgitation after transcatheter device closure of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect is a known complication. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with severe aortic valve regurgitation due to cusp perforation complicating previous device closure of a ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent successful aortic valve repair (neo-cusp reconstruction technique) by replacement of a cusp and shaving off of a rim of the device 5 years after device closure.
