Case report describes mechanical thrombectomy's role in managing thromboembolic events in adults with congenital heart disease, indicating potential treatment pathways.
Objective: Patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) are at increased risk of thromboembolic events. However, case reports describing the use of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute large-vessel occlusion (LVO) in this population remain limited. This case report describes an LVO caused by cardiogenic embolism in an adult patient who underwent the Fontan procedure for tricuspid atresia.
