ABSTRACT Single-patch closure of a superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) may be complicated with narrowing of inferior vena cava (IVC). If the pressure gradient across the narrowed portion of superior vena cava (SVC) exceeds 6 mm Hg, widening of SVC lumen is considered. No such guidelines are available in literature for narrowing of inferior vena cava in cardiac surgical patients. We describe an incident of inferior narrowing of inferior vena cava in a 10-year-old girl, who was operated for closure of an inferior type of ostium secundum ASD (OSASD). There was hepatic venous dilatation accompanied with gradient of 3 mm Hg at the junction of inferior vena cava and right atrium (RA). The cardiopulmonary bypass was reestablished and the surgical closure of the septal defect was revised to rectify the problem.

Left Subclavian Vein

Without the femoral venous approach, transcatheter closure of an atrial septal defect is challenging. We performed percutaneous closure via the left subclavian vein in a patient with absence of the inferior vena cava with azygos continuation. Considering that inferior vena cava anomalies are not extremely rare among those with congenital heart disease, the left subclavian vein approach can be an alternative to the femoral approach.
