Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2006 May;67(5):674-8. doi: 10.1002/ccd.20711.

Abstract

The details of transhepatic closure of moderate - large size atrial septal defect as well as assisted closure of a modified Blalock Taussig shunt in a 2 1/2 year old patient with occluded femoral vessels are discussed. The technical variations as well as the potential advantages of this route are outlined.
