A 9-month-old male with asplenia and complex congenital heart disease experienced progressive stenosis of an anomalous pulmonary venous connection. He developed pulmonary edema and growth failure. Two stents were placed concentrically to relieve the stenosis, and the pulmonary edema and growth failu

Left superior vena cavae draining to the left atrium have traditionally been treated with surgical ligation. Advances in cardiac catheterization have made transcatheter closure a viable alternative to surgery. We report on an innovative method using a Greenfield filter and Gianturco coils for closure of a persistent left superior vena cava.
