The First Successful Transcatheter Closure of an Inferior Sinus Venosus Defect with Anomalous Drainage of the Right Lower Pulmonary Vein Using Bare and Covered Stents: A Single-Case Report

Figure 14

A 35 mm Amplatz Gooseneck snare was deployed from a distal Amplatz Super Stiff wire (a, b). The snare was used to grasp the middle of the embolized covered stent and to pull it back inside the anchored bare stent (c, d); however, we were not able to release the snare once the covered stent was back inside the bare stent (e, f). We then redeployed the snare at a more distal position and then pulled the embolized stent with balloon inflated in the more distal position to coaxial both stents and eventually released snare (g, h).
