[Percutaneous closure of vertical vein after supra-cardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair, using atrial septal defect occluder. A case report].

In patients operated on for total supracardiac anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC-SC), not ligating the vertical vein (VV) routinely helps to maintain greater hemodynamic stability in the postoperative period, and in many cases, spontaneous closure will be achieved. However, if the VV remains patent, it leads to a pre-tricuspid shunt with significant pulmonary hyperflow, requiring surgical or percutaneous closure. We present the case of a post-operated patient for non-obstructive TAPVC-SC with patent VV, in whom percutaneous closure was performed using an atrial septal Occluder.
