Thrombus formation in the heart following balloon atrial septostomy in transposition of great arteries

Thrombotic complications following balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) are unusual. We report a patient with thrombus formation at the site of BAS, extending into the inferior vena cava (IVC), following BAS for transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA-IVS). An urgent arterial...

Sumario:Thrombotic complications following balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) are unusual. We report a patient with thrombus formation at the site of BAS, extending into the inferior vena cava (IVC), following BAS for transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA-IVS). An urgent arterial switch operation (ASO) with removal of the thrombus was performed. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12055-022-01331-4.
