Abstract

This case report discusses a 1-year-old female with severe growth retardation and multiple congenital anomalies, including a large patent ductus arteriosus and interrupted inferior vena cava. Successful percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus closure was achieved via the azygos venous route, overcoming anatomical challenges and highlighting the importance of individualized procedural strategies in complex cases.
