Abstract

Sinus venosus atrial septal defects (SVASDs) present unique challenges for percutaneous closure. The use of covered stents has emerged as a promising technique; however, complications such as stent migration can occur. We report a case of successful transcatheter closure of an SVASD using a covered stent, which migrated from the balloon and was successfully retrieved using snaring. The patient remained hemodynamically stable, and the final outcome was excellent.
