    A woman with Ebstein's anomaly experienced paradoxical emboli after surgery. This rare case highlights a unique complication in a congenital heart disease survivor.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect affecting the tricuspid valve.
    • Paradoxical emboli occur when a clot travels from the venous to the arterial system, often through a heart defect.
    • Surgical procedures, like hysterectomy, can increase the risk of thromboembolic events.

    Observation:

    • A 48-year-old woman with known Ebstein's anomaly presented with bilateral lower-extremity arterial emboli post-hysterectomy.
    • The patient underwent multiple interventions including embolectomy, caval filter placement, tricuspid valve replacement, and atrial septal defect closure.

    Findings:

    • The patient's condition was diagnosed as a paradoxical embolus, a rare ante-mortem diagnosis.
    • This case represents the first reported instance of paradoxical emboli in a survivor with Ebstein's anomaly.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering paradoxical emboli in patients with congenital heart defects presenting with arterial occlusion.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing paradoxical emboli in this population.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific risks and optimal management strategies for patients with Ebstein's anomaly undergoing surgery.
