title: Transcatheter closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defect with anomalous drainage of right upper pulmonary vein into superior vena cava--an innovative technique.
abstract: Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is located high in the atrial septum where the right superior vena cava (RSVC) enters the right atrium, and is commonly associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return of right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV) into RSVC. Transcatheter closure of such defects has not been described in the literature. We have developed an innovative technique to close this defect by transcatheter means. We present here a 35-year old patient with SVASD and anomalous drainage of RUPV in RSVC in whom we closed the defect along with rerouting of RUPV to left atrium (LA) using a 12 mm × 61 mm adventa V12 covered stent in the RSVC with good outcome.
