A new technique improves procedural control during transcatheter repair of SVASD in children, suggesting enhanced safety and effectiveness.

This research aims to improve the procedural control of transcatheter repair for sinus venosus atrial septal defect.
Enhanced suture-holding technique using a guidewire for stent positioning
Undertaken in a 14-year-old boy with superior SVASD and PAPVR
Deployment of an 80-mm covered stent and a 28-mm bare-metal stent
Successful exclusion of the atrial communication
Rerouted anomalous venous flow to the left atrium without obstruction
Improved control and safety in the procedure due to the modified technique
