title: Transcatheter management of innominate vein thrombosis prior to bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis.
abstract: Innominate vein thrombosis was diagnosed in an 8-months-old infant after stage I surgery for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Cardiac catheterization identified venous collaterals bypassing the innominate vein via the azygous vein. Coil occlusion of the distal azygous vein allowed a subsequent cavopulmonary anastomosis directing collateral flow into the pulmonary bed. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 49:61-63, 2000.
