This report illustrates the diagnostic workup and a percutaneous treatment strategy of a CAF using a VSD occluder. We also describe a not previously reported complication, thrombotic CS occlusion. Improving transcatheter techniques and marketing of novel devices with a broad spectrum of applications can offer new opportunities for treating CAF and avoiding surgical correction often involving cardiopulmonary bypass, reserving this option for patients with complex anatomy or failed transcatheter closure.
