โฆ Synopsis
Improved catheter and device technology has allowed the practice of pediatric interventional catheterization to expand in recent years. One such example of technologic advancement has been the development of an intravascular snare by Microvena (White Bear Lake, MN). We present three patients in which the snare was effectively used to perform definitive transcatheter therapy and avoid the need of more invasive surgical treatment. We believe that the snare device significantly decreased our fluoroscopic and procedural time and facilitated the effectiveness of the specific procedure. o
