We report the use of an Amplatzer Vascular plug for percutaneous closure of a paravalvular leak after Cone repair in a 5-year-old boy with Ebstein's anomaly. A paravalvular leak of the tricuspid valve developed gradually after Cone repair-surgery. The combination of fluoroscopy, transesophageal and transthoracic imaging during general anesthesia was necessary for correct and safe positioning of the device by percutaneous approach. The results were promising.
