Percutaneous Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Situs Inversus Dextrocardia with Interrupted Inferior Vena Cava through Internal Jugular Vein Approach

Abstract

Interrupted IVC is a rare anomaly with an incidence of 1 in 5000 cases [5]. It has a strong association with polysplenia (86%). As a rule, it is generally associated with situs abnormalities and complex congenital heart defects. Although PDA device closure in an interrupted IVC is technically difficult, procedure done through internal jugular, femoral vein and retrograde trans arterial approach had been reported [1-3]. We describe a novel case in which we did PDA device closure in a five-year-old girl with situs inversus Dextrocardia interrupted IVC with Azygous continuation through trans jugular approach.
