Muscular ventricular septal defects (mVSD) appearing together with other septal defects are frequently regarded as “concomitant” pathologies, that nevertheless should be considered while the patient is referred for intervention. We followed a conception of mVSDs’ miniinvasive treatment with a hybrid approach based on perventricular implantation of occluding devices. In this paper we report a hybrid procedure performed in a premature infant referred for surgical correction of a large perimembranous VSD with a simultaneous perventricular approach for concomitant muscular ventricular septal defect. The device of choice, because of the patient’s small size and weight, was the Amplatzer Duct Occluder II. Colour Doppler showed complete closure of all VSDs 8 months after surgery with no complications related to the procedure
