Diagnosis and Pathophysiology of Paradoxical Embolism

Radiology, 1976
Three cases of paradoxical embolism are presented. Although most systemic emboli originate in the heart, detection of other sources is aided by venography of the lower extremities, indocyanine green-dye curve studies of the inferior vena cava, obtaining right heart pressures, oximetry, and pulmonary angiography.

Thrombus-in-transit and paradoxical embolism

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2002
Paradoxical embolism is an uncommon but clinically important phenomenon. Elements of diagnosis include the presence of: (1) a venous thrombus, (2) an arterial embolus, (3) a communication between the right and left heart, and (4) a thrombus traversing such a communication. Unfortunately, all of these elements can be rarely demonstrated in each case but

Paradoxical Embolization With Ebstein's Anomaly

Archives of Surgery, 1983
A 48-year-old woman with known Ebstein's anomaly had bilateral, lower-extremity arterial emboli after a total abdominal hysterectomy. She underwent embolectomy, placement of a Greenfield caval filter, subsequent tricuspid valve replacement, and closure of an atrial septal defect. Antemortem diagnosis of a paradoxical embolus is rare.

Stroke due to paradoxical embolism

The Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 1990
We present a case of stroke in a young girl, preceded by a deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, both clinically asymptomatic, and accompanied by upper limb acute ischemia. Diagnosis of paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale was made on clinical grounds and with contrast echocardiography.

Acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and previous cryptogenic stroke caused by a paradoxical embolism with a concomitant pulmonary embolism

Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, 2017
A 61-year-old woman was hospitalized for a chief complaint of sudden chest tightness with sweating for two hours. The chest tightness and sweating occurred suddenly and without remission after a morning stool.

Paradoxical Embolic Stroke

2020
Even after extensive work-up for stroke etiology, up to 40% of ischemic stroke patients do not have identifiable cause, who are considered cryptogenic stroke. Paroxysmal embolism refers to embolism originated from venous circulation entering arterial circulation, potential cause of the cryptogenic stroke.
