We present a case of renal infarction in a 43-year-old female with history of stroke at age 14. She was found to be heterozygous for the prothrombin G20210A gene mutation. Loop monitoring revealed no atrial fibrillation. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms showed no thrombus. However, there was a small shunt due to an atrial septal defect (ASD). She was treated with warfarin and had device closure of her ASD. This was a suspected case of paradoxical embolism through an ASD leading to renal infarction.

Though percutaneous transcatheter atrial septal defect closure with newer generation occluder devices is a standard treatment at present, these devices have significant long-term risks (>1 year) associated with such as thrombus formation. Here, we present a case of 28 year-old patient presented with few symptoms and had a history of ASD device closure using amplatzer septal occluder device five years back. The patient was found to have a large thrombus (30×33 mm) attached to the device which was managed using anticoagulants and patients was advised for regular echocardiographic follow-up.

Observation Period

A four year old girl was diagnosed as a case of mid muscular Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) since early infancy. She had history of failure to thrive (FTT) and recurrent chest infection or pneumonia. As her pulmonary artery pressure was almost normal she was planned for device closure on elective basis once device and technology would be available in cardiac centre of combined Military Hospital (CMH) Dhaka. Finally it was done on 21st August 2005 and patient was discharged after 72 hours observation period. Echocardiography on next morning showed complete occlusion of defect with no residual shunt.

<strong>Background:</strong> Acute changes in left ventricular diastolic function shortly after ASD closure in elderly patients have not been well known. We aimed to investigate acute changes in left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in elderly patients following transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD). <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> All 19 adults with ASDs who underwent transcatheter closure between June 2013 and December 2014 were enrolled. LVEDP was measured prior to device closure and compared with that immediately following device closure and 15 minutes after device closure. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> The median age of the patients was 48 years old. The baseline E/e’ and LVEDP values were 8.3 ± 2.8 and 13 ± 3 mmHg. The LVEDP value immediately following closure was 19 ± 4 mmHg, and 15 minutes after closure was 16 ± 4 mmHg. The median increase in the LVEDP value immediately following closure was 6 mmHg, which significantly differed from that prior to closure. The LVEDP 15 minutes after closure decreased but remained significantly higher than the value observed immediately after closure. No significant changes were observed with regard to E/e’ at either 1 day or 3 months following closure. The LVEDP value <br />15 minutes after device closure was significantly correlated with those observed before closure and immediately following closure; however, no significant correlations were observed with regard to patient age, Qp/Qs, E/e’ before closure, or E/e’ 3 months after device closure.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> LVEDP in adults with ASDs significantly increases following device closure. LVEDP before closure predicts LVEDP following device closure.
