Abstract

The atrial flow regulator is a new self-expandable double-disc fenestrated device providing a calibrated inter-atrial communication. Paediatric reports are scarce. We herein describe a case of complete atrioventricular block complicating the exemption use of an atrial flow regulator in a 5-kg infant with transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
