ABSTRACT
The internal jugular vein is not a typical vascular access line during the percutaneous closure of an atrial septal defect. We report the closure of a double atrial septal defect with a single device, using a transjugular venous approach, in a child with an inferior vena cava obstructed by a thrombosis due to previous cardiac catheterization. That the transjugular venous approach can be used as a possible alternative during the transcatheter closure of an atrial septal defect in children, when the inferior vena cava access is not possible.
