Percutaneous closure of a secundum atrial septal defect was performed successfully via the jugular approach in a 77‐year‐old patient with heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia and total occlusion of the inferior vena cava using the Amplatzer septal occluder after an unsuccessful attempt using the CardioSEAL septal occluder. This case demonstrates the advantages of the jugular approach in the patient with difficult anatomy and the advantage of the Amplatzer over the CardioSEAL device in this situation.
