Abstract

Background: Transcatheter device closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the preferred, minimally invasive treatment for most pediatric patients with a hemodynamically significant shunt. The standard procedure typically utilizes the femoral artery and vein for access and device deployment. However, congenital anomalies of the systemic venous system, such as an interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC), can pose significant technical challenges for this routine approach.
