Myeong Seop KimSe Yong JangDong Heon YangPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2021)
This patient experienced stroke at the age of 16 years and had been suffering from heart failure since childhood. A large right-to-left shunt flow from the IVC to the LA by misplaced interatrial patch was found using TOE, right-sided heart catheterization, and inferior caval venography. This diagnosis should be considered in patients complaining of persistent dyspnoea with hypoxia after the surgical repair of ASD.
