Ebsteins anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect accounting for <1% of all cases. It is commonly associated with other cardiac malformations particularly, 50% of the patients are associated with atrial septal defect. We report a 22-year-old lady diagnosed to have Ebsteins anomaly with small atrial septal defect. She was surgically managed in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University by replacing the defective tricuspid valve withSt Jude Medical Epic porcine bio-prosthetic heart valve along with plication of atrialized portion of right ventricle and direct closure of the atrial septal defect.This resulted in excellent symptomatic improvement.University Heart Journal Vol. 12, No. 1, January 2016; 37-39
Amplatzer septal occluder is widely used by the cardiac interventionists as an effective alternative to traditional surgery for atrial septal defects. However, although rare, device may embolize during or after procedure due to several reasons. We report a case of device embolization into the descending thoracic aorta during percutaneous closure of ASD in a 14-year-old girl which was successfully retrieved by emergency surgery at Department of Cardiac Surgery, University Cardiac Centre, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Bangladesh.
