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.
