Transcatheter closure using the Gianturco Grifka vascular occlusion device successfully treated a large persistent left superior vena cava causing cyanosis in two post-Fontan patients.
The Gianturco Grifka vascular occlusion device can be successfully used for transcatheter closure of a persistent left superior vena cava causing cyanosis post-Fontan operation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support device closure feasibility for cyanotic persistent LSVC post-Fontan; hypothesis-generating, requiring prospective validation before practice change.
