Increased risk: http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/91/11/2785.full The link above gives good information on risk and diagnosis of Atrial Septal Aneurysm. The big issue is when blood flow across the septum. Clots from the legs are usually stopped in the lungs. With a ASD, the clot will cross over and go up to the brain can cause stroke. An embolism is when a clot travels in the blood and causes a blockage.
