Key result
Transcatheter closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defects using a self-expandable stent graft was performed in 3 patients, with 1 requiring surgical removal due to cardiac tamponade.
Why the study?
Transcatheter closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defects is proving safe and effective, and the authors sought to report an indigenous reproducible closure technique that eliminates the need for advanced imaging techniques.
Population
3 patients aged 27, 42, and 44 years with SVASD
Comparison
Transcatheter closure using self-expandable Endurant II stent graft guided by fluoroscopy, TEE, and marker pigtail

Feasibility in small series tempered by tamponade risk; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Case Report (n=3)

Transcatheter closure of sinus venosus ASD using self-expanding stent grafts guided by fluoroscopy and TEE is feasible but carries significant risks such as cardiac tamponade.
Muthukumaran et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) (n=3). Transcatheter closure using self-expandable Endurant™ II stent graft was evaluated. Transcatheter closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defects using a self-expandable stent graft was performed in 3 patients, with 1 requiring surgical removal due to cardiac tamponade.
