Key result
Same-session IVC angioplasty safely enables femoral access for percutaneous ASD closure.
Why the study?
Thrombosed inferior vena cava filters are often considered a limitation to femoral access for cardiac structural procedures, and the feasibility and safety of reopening by angioplasty in the same procedural step needed evaluation.
Does reopening a thrombosed IVC by angioplasty allow safe femoral access for percutaneous atrial septal defect occlusion?
Does reopening a thrombosed IVC by angioplasty allow safe femoral access for percutaneous atrial septal defect occlusion?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Reopening a thrombosed IVC via angioplasty during the same procedure allows for feasible and safe femoral access for structural cardiac interventions like ASD occlusion.
Thrombosed inferior vena cava (IVC) should not be considered as a limitation to femoral access for cardiac structural procedures. Reopening by angioplasty in the same procedural step is feasible and safe.

Rakotonoel et al. (2021) studied this question. Reopening a thrombosed inferior vena cava by angioplasty during the same procedure to enable femoral access for percutaneous atrial septal defect occlusion is feasible and safe.
