Key result
Preloaded coil-in-plug technique achieves complete persistent left superior vena cava occlusion without migration.
Why the study?
Systemic venous collaterals after Glenn surgery may cause persistent cyanosis, and effective occlusion techniques are needed for treatment.

The preloading coil-in-plug technique is a technically feasible endovascular approach for embolizing anatomically challenging systemic venous collaterals with short landing zones in pediatric patients following Glenn palliation.
pCIP achieved occlusion without migration in one infant post-Glenn; leaves open feasibility for short-landing-zone collaterals pending larger studies.
Background: Systemic venous collaterals after Glenn surgery may cause persistent cyanosis. The coil-in-plug (CIP) technique can provide strong occlusion within a short landing zone. Additionally, the preloading CIP (pCIP) tec... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press

Nozaki et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava causing right-to-left shunt after Glenn surgery (n=1). Preloading coil-in-plug (pCIP) technique was evaluated on Complete angiographic occlusion. The preloading coil-in-plug technique successfully achieved complete angiographic occlusion of a persistent left superior vena cava without device migration in a 15-month-old boy.
