Abstract In cases where femoral access is untenable for secundum atrial septal defect closure, the internal jugular vein can be used instead. We report a case of atrial septal defect closure in a patient with significant vascular thrombosis, requiring the use of the left internal jugular vein for access. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that documents the use of the left internal jugular vein for atrial septal defect closure in a patient with situs solitus anatomy.

AbstractFemoral vein access is the first choice for percutaneous atrial septal defect closure, and when it cannot be used due to anatomic reasons, the alternative sites should be considered, frequently increasing the complexity of the procedure. Here we report the case of a 3-year-old boy, with situs inversus and dextrocardia, electively referred for percutaneous closure of an ostium secundum atrial septal defect. During the procedure, agenesis of the infra-hepatic segment of the inferior caval vein was diagnosed, and no double inferior caval vein or right superior caval vein were identified by ultrasound or angiography. Therefore, we opted to perform the procedure through the left internal jugular vein, with fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiographic guidance. Catheters were navigated through a hydrophilic guidewire, and a Stiff guidewire was positioned in the left ventricle for better support. An Amplatzer septa occluder 19 was successfully deployed without major difficulties and the patient was discharged after 24 hours in good clinical condition. Percutaneous atrial septal defect closure through alternative access sites, especially in the presence of situs inversus, may pose significant challenges to the interventional team. In this case, the left internal jugular vein has shown to be a feasible option, allowing the navigation and manipulation of devices without complications. Provided the expertise of the interventional team, and awareness of the risks involved, alternative access sites can be successfully used for paediatric structural interventions.

ABSTRACT Single-patch closure of a superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) may be complicated with narrowing of inferior vena cava (IVC). If the pressure gradient across the narrowed portion of superior vena cava (SVC) exceeds 6 mm Hg, widening of SVC lumen is considered. No such guidelines are available in literature for narrowing of inferior vena cava in cardiac surgical patients. We describe an incident of inferior narrowing of inferior vena cava in a 10-year-old girl, who was operated for closure of an inferior type of ostium secundum ASD (OSASD). There was hepatic venous dilatation accompanied with gradient of 3 mm Hg at the junction of inferior vena cava and right atrium (RA). The cardiopulmonary bypass was reestablished and the surgical closure of the septal defect was revised to rectify the problem.

Aim: the purpose of this publication is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the endovascular method of treatment for long-existing, neglected, and fairly common congenital heart defects such as an atrial septal defect with high pulmonary hypertension.Material and Methods. We present a clinical case of the successful X-ray endovascular treatment of a 48-year-old female patient with a high pulmonary hypertension diagnosed with congenital heart disease, atrial septal defect. Clinical and instrumental examination included standard resting electrocardiography, echocardiography, and catheterization of the right heart and the pulmonary artery. Surgical treatment consisted in an X-ray endovascular implantation of the 40-mm atrial septal defect closure device via the transfemoral access. Post-operative follow up care lasted for 15 months.Results. Echocardiography study showed the left ventricular ejection fraction of 53 mL; congenital heart disease was characterized by 2.5-cm secondary central atrial septal defect and a variable pressure release. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 120 mmHg. Catheterization of the right heart and the pulmonary artery showed blood flow with the presence of leftto-right shunting equal to Qp/Qs=2.0/1. An X-ray endovascular atrial septal defect surgery was conducted in an X-ray operation room via a standard transfemoral access. The surgery consisted in X-ray endovascular atrial septal defect occlusion with an implantation of an atrial septal defect closure device with 40-mm neck diameter. Intraoperative echocardiography study showed that the closure device was placed correctly with no signs of residual bleeding. The final echocardiography performed in three days showed the condition after atrial septal defect closure device implantation. The defect was tightly closed. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 83 mmHg. Hospital stay lasted for three days. Follow-up echocardiography study at 15 months showed the condition after atrial septal defect closure device implantation. The defect was tightly closed. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 46 mmHg.Conclusion. There are currently two types of treatment: open surgery such as suturing or plastic  urgery with extracorporeal blood circulation and X-ray endovascular occlusion of the atrial septal defect by implantation of a special device. The X-ray endovascular treatment of an atrial septal defect with a closure device implantation is a highly effective and safe procedure. The main advantages of this method are as follows: surgery does not require anesthesia, incision, and heart-lung bypass whereas reimplantation and repositioning of the device is always feasible.
