Eight patients who underwent interventions using multifunctional occluders for lesions other than ventricular septal defects between March 2019 to September 2019 were included in the study. The patients were analysed based on demography, the size and type of lesion, procedural success, and development of complications. All patients were followed up in the outpatient department for a minimum period of 6 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951120002668_as3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The median age and weight of the cohort were 3.2 years and 9 kg, respectively. Six patients had patent ductus arteriosus, while one patient had aorto-pulmonary window and one had a coronary arterio-venous fistula. The sizing of the occluders and the procedural approach were based on the underlying pathology. The most commonly used occluder was 6 \u00d7 4 mm variant. One patient had successful implantation but had significant intra-device residual flow and was thus replaced by a different occluder. There were no major complications, nor any incidences of device embolisation or malposition. On follow-up, all patients had uneventful course.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951120002668_as5\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Konar-multifunctional occluder can be safely used in lesions other than ventricular septal defects, when needed under specific circumstances.
