    Systemic thromboembolism is an unreported complication of ventricular septal defect patches. This study details its occurrence, diagnosis, and treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Thrombotic Disorders

    Background:

    • Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are common congenital heart abnormalities.
    • Surgical or device closure is standard treatment for VSDs.
    • Potential complications of VSD repair require ongoing investigation.

    Observation:

    • This report describes a rare but serious complication: systemic thromboembolism.
    • Thromboembolism originated from the implanted ventricular septal defect patch.
    • The occurrence, diagnostic methods, and management strategies are detailed.

    Findings:

    • Systemic thromboembolism following VSD patch closure is an underreported event.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate anticoagulation are crucial for management.

  • Treatment strategies aim to prevent further embolic events and manage the underlying cause.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness among clinicians is necessary for timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • Further research into patch materials and anticoagulation protocols may reduce this complication.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare complications in VSD management.
