Coronary disease & ACSCohort study
Transcatheter Covered Stent Exclusion of Superior Sinus Venosus Defects
- Retrospective single-centre case series
Authors' conclusion
Procedural success was 97%. Recent modifications increased patient inclusions, decreased complications, and simplified the intervention.
