Azygos veins and hemiazygos veins were both occluded in two patients. One patient had the hemiazygos vein occluded. Aortic-to-pulmonary collaterals were occluded in 6 patients in the meantime. Atrial septal defect occluders were applied in the transcatheter occlusions of azygos veins, hemiazygos veins and LSVC, except one patient with an azygos vein which was 5.5 mm in diameter. Saturation was increased from 0.78 to 0.85 through occlusion(P 0.05). No complications associated with interventional procedures occurred. There was no significant decrease in blood oxygen saturation.
