A 15‐year‐old girl with previous repair of a complex cyanotic congenital heart defect had persistence of a modified left Blalock‐Taussig shunt that could not be ligated at surgery. Six years later, antegrade delivery of a Gianturco‐Grifka Vascular Occlusion Device resulted in complete closure of the shunt. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 48:365–367, 1999. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
