Abstract

We note the risk of paradoxical embolism in patients with congenital heart defects with a right-to-left shunt. These patients should be managed to ensure that abdominal aortic thrombi are not overlooked when their clinical conditions change.

Keywords: abdominal aortic thrombus; congenital cardiac defects; interrupted aortic arch; neonate; paradoxical embolism.
