    Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs) are a common type of congenital heart disease, accounting for almost one-third of all cases. The perimembranous VSD (pmVSD) is the most common type of VSD. Surgical closure of VSD is widely performed but carries potential risks such as complete atrioventricular block, infection, and neurological issues. Catheter-based interventions for muscular VSDs have shown promising results since 1988 with the youngest patient being 8 months old infant, but data for perimembranous VSD closure is scarce.

    Our primary goal in this case report is to discuss the successful percutaneous closure of a VSD in a 2-month-old infant. To the best of our knowledge, it is the youngest age recorded for a successful transcatheter pm VSD device closure.
