    Transcatheter closure of hypertensive ductus with amplatzer post infarction muscular VSD occluder after percutaneous retrieval of embolized amplatzer duct occluder

    Transcatheter closure of a large hypertensive patent ductus arteriosus is challenging with scant data about it. Even more challenging is retrieval of an embolized Amplatzer duct occluder. We report successful closure of a 12 mm large ductus with the Amplatzer muscular VSD occluder (post myocardial infarction) after percutaneous retrieval of the embolized, largest available, 16/14 mm Amplatzer duct occluder

    Simultaneous transcatheter closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and stent implantation for aortic coarctation

    AbstractRuptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare anomaly and an associated coarctation of aorta is even rarer. A combination of such defects is traditionally treated surgically. The surgery is necessarily staged and done through different approaches. We report successful simultaneous transcatheter treatment of both these defects performed in the same setting in an acutely ill adult male patient with a good intermediate-term follow-up

    Modified transjugular approach for percutaneous atrial septal defect closure

    Femoral venous route is routinely used for percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs). However, a situation may arise where transfemoral approach is not feasible. We describe a successful transjugular closure of a moderate-sized ASD in a 49-year-old symptomatic man with interrupted inferior vena cava, using a novel deployment technique, which helped in overcoming difficulties such as maintaining stable sheath position and minimizing risk of air embolism
