Key result
Transfemoral approach successfully closes ASD in a patient with rare segmental IVC interruption.
Why the study?
Anatomic abnormalities of the venous system can complicate standard femoral venous access for transcatheter closure of secundum-type atrial septal defects, necessitating alternative approaches.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the feasibility of transfemoral ASD closure in a patient with segmental interruption of the inferior caval vein.

Supports transfemoral ASD closure in segmental IVC interruption; leaves open generalizability beyond this single case.
Firouzi et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Secundum-type atrial septal defect and segmental interruption of inferior caval vein (n=1). Transfemoral approach for atrial septal defect closure was evaluated on Successful atrial septal defect closure. Successful atrial septal defect closure was achieved through a transfemoral approach in a 50-year-old male with a rare form of segmental interruption of the inferior caval vein.
