Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect via transjugular approach with Blockaid device in a patient with interrupted inferior vena cava.
Percutaneous ASD closure was successfully performed through the internal jugular approach in a 40-year old female with IVC interruption and azygos continuation. This case demonstrates the feasibility of transcatheter ASD closure in a difficult anatomy which precludes the standard transfemoral approach.
