Abstract
We report a clinical case of paradoxical embolism in a 22 years old female patient who has been admitted in hospital with acute left lower limb ischemia. In her previous medical history, 3 times early-miscarriage was noticed. While investigating for etiologies, Trans Thoracic Echocardiogram was prescribed and it showed an association which favorate a distal embolism: atrial septal defect (ASD) with right-to-left shunt, thrombus in the right atrium and severe pulmonary stenosis. We performed embolectomy and the patient was transferred to the cardiology unity for pulmonary dilatation before performing open ASD open repair later.
