Summary
Transcatheter repair of sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is an alternative to surgery. A modified transcatheter pulmonary valve successfully treated a large SVASD in a patient ineligible for standard devices.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Device Innovation
Background:
- Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) can be treated with transcatheter repair.
- Dilated cardiac anatomy can exclude patients from treatment due to size limitations of current devices like balloon-expandable covered stents (BECS).
