Whereas CAA, primarily leptomeningeal, is a frequent complication in hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (TTRCA), it is unusually reported in association with wild-type TTR, with or without polyneuropathy. The knowledge of mixed dementia and wild-type TTR association is even scarcer.

It can present as amelia (complete absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), meromelia (partial absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), phocomelia (only rudimentary limb formed), and minor limb disorders like polydactyly. The complete absence of the four fetal limbs is extremely rare.

Atrial septal defects are among the most prevalent congenital anomalies necessitating surgical intervention. Thrombus formation is a recognized complication that is typically characterized by an embolic event following patch-based repair. However, thromboembolic complications following primary repair of atrial septal defects are exceedingly uncommon.
