“…Of those patients, 15% to 60% ultimately had to undergo VV ligation because of large shunts. 15 As described in a few case reports, transcatheter approach may be successful at centers with ACHD expertise. However, most of these reports have minimal follow-up, and therefore, the durability of this solution remains unknown.…”

“…13 Saritaş et al showed that unligated vertical vein provides relief in the pressure of suprasystemic pulmonary artery. 14 The important issues in deciding to close of the vertical vein after surgery are the amount of shunt, the direction of shunt, and pulmonary vascular resistance. The advantages of Amplatzer Vascular Plug devices are allowing total closure of vertical vein, low embolisation rate, easing of retrieval when device has been embolised, easily repositioning until releasing of device.…”

Transcatheter closure of patent vertical vein after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection: a case series

Background and objectives: Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare cyanotic CHD that requires surgical repair. An unligated vertical vein after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection surgery may help to decrease the episodes of post-operative pulmonary hypertensive crises, low cardiac output syndrome, and mortality. The aim was to assess long-term outcome and our post-operative transcatheter vertical vein closure experiences in five patients with repaired total anomalous pulmonary venous connection patients. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in five cases with an unligated vertical vein following repair of supra-cardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection at our hospital from 2011 through 2018. Patients characteristics, cardiac catheterisation findings, surgical, and transcatheter procedural details were retrospectively analysed. Results: Transcatheter closure of the unligated vertical vein was technically successful in all the patients. Procedure-related complications were not observed in any of the patients. No long-term complication was found. Conclusions: We suggest that transcatheter closure of the patent vertical vein is an effective and well-tolerated alternative to the surgical approach.
