Abdominal aortic thrombus formation in a neonate with an interrupted aortic arch
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.
