Abstract
We describe a 12-year-old boy with agenesis of the intrahepatic segment of the inferior vena cava (a rare congenital anomaly) in whom an electrified coronary guidewire with electrocautery was used percutaneously to perforate and open the atretic segment, followed by stent implantation. This technique may be a safe and feasible option for paediatric patients, offering a therapeutic alternative for complex cardiac anatomies.
