Percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defect associated with anomalous inferior vein cava drainage via transjugular approach

摘要

Transcatheter occlusion of ventricular septal defect (VSD) was first reported in 1987. Because of short recovery time and little distress, the method has been widely accepted. The most common approach of the procedure is via femoral vein. However, when the inferior vein cava is interrupted or obstructed, it is unfeasible to carry out the procedure via femoral vein. So an alternative approach such as internal jugular vein or subclavian vein needs to be considered.
