Creating a Fontan fenestration in a child with dextrocardia and interrupted inferior vena cava

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2016
Plastic bronchitis is a rare life-threatening complication of the Fontan operation. Transcatheter Fontan fenestration can ameliorate symptoms by decompressing elevated venous pressures.

Successful radiofrequency ablation of a right posteroseptal accessory pathway through an anomalous inferior vena cava and azygos continuation in a patient with incomplete situs inversus

, 2009
We present a 43-year-old patient with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. In the process of catheter ablation, we found interruption of the inferior vena cava with azygos continuation with incomplete situs inversus.

Successful slow pathway ablation for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia via a hypoplastic inferior vena cava in a patient with an azygos continuation

, 2008
Catheter ablation of the slow pathway for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is not always possible due to congenital or acquired obstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC).

Hidden lung findings in 10,000 patients presenting to anesthesia outpatient clinics for preoperative evaluation: Azygos Lobe

The azygos lobe is usually considered to be a continuation of the upper lobe of the right lung. The azygos vein passes over the right main bronchus and is characterized by its distinct passage.

Real-time integration of intracardiac echocardiography and 3D electroanatomical mapping to guide catheter ablation of isthmus-dependent atrial flutter in a patient with complete situs inversus and interruption of the inferior vena cava with azygos continuation

, 2011
Atrial tachycardias are relatively common in patients with congenital heart disease. However, complex anomalies involving the heart and the great vessels might compromise the results of the ablation procedure. This report describes a clinical application

Successful slow pathway modification with radiofrequency ablation in a patient with AVNRT and congenital IVC continuity with azygos vein

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine
Background: Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava (IVC), such as interrupted or azygos continuation, complicate catheter-based procedures like atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation. Understanding IVC variations is crucial

Interrupted inferior vena cava: high-risk anatomy for right thoracotomy

, 2011
Interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare developmental defect characterised by azygos continuation following failure of fusion of one or more of the component parts of the embryological IVC and occurring in approximately one in 5000 of the general ...
