Abstract
Percutaneous transcatheter closure of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is usually performed via the femoral vein but in certain circumstances, this approach may not be possible necessitating the need for an alternative access. The right internal jugular vein has been successfully utilized in these cases. We are presenting the first successful PFO closure using a Cardioform Occluder Device to close a PFO as a primary prevention approach in a patient with a large inferior vena cava thrombus from renal cell carcinoma.
