Paradoxical embolism is an important clinical entity among patients with venous thromboembolism in the presence of intracardiac or pulmonary shunts. The clinical presentation is diverse and potentially life-threatening. Although the serious nature and complications of paradoxical embolism are recognized, the disease entity is still rarely considered ...

Impending paradoxical embolism [PDF]
An impending paradoxical embolism (IPDE) is seldom observed in clinical practice. We report a case of IPDE in a 67-year-old female with severe dyspnea and hypotension, which was detected and successfully treated with emergent cardiac surgery. The optimal treatment is still controversial.

Paradoxical embolism via patent foramen ovale induced by deep venous thrombosis and acute pulmonary embolism [PDF]
A 32-year-old man presented with acute pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and lower extremity arterial ischemia after prolonged driving. He underwent emergency thrombolysis, thrombectomy, and inferior vena cava filter placement, and potential ...

Successful surgical treatment of impending paradoxical embolism with pulmonary embolism and myocardial infarction [PDF]
Background Paradoxical embolism is a rare cause of acute arterial occlusion. This phenomenon arises when embolic material travels from the venous system crosses an abnormal shunt such as patent foramen ovale, atrial septal defects, ventricular septal ...

Recurrent Episodes of Acute Myocardial Infarction Secondary to Paradoxical Coronary Artery Embolism
Coronary artery embolism is a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction, attributed to approximately 10% of all paradoxical embolisms. It is a condition that should be considered in patients who present with chest pain and have a low overall risk of ...

The diagnosis and treatment of paradoxical embolism: a systematic review [PDF]
One in five adults has patent foramen ovale (PFO), which is typically without symptoms. Because of the low pressure in both atria and the anatomical position of the septum secundum, there is no left-to-right shunting and little right-to-left shunting in ...
