Acute limb ischemia in pediatric patients is rare and may lead to limb loss and life long complications. So far many publications have been made on pediatric acute limb ischemia and its management. But no case report have been published on pediatric saddle embolism. Our patient is a four year old male child who presented postoperatively after primary closure of ASD with Bilateral acute lower limb ischemia due to saddle embolism and managed successfully by bilateral transfemoral embolectomy.
