This case report highlights the successful surgical removal of an impending paradoxical embolism astride a patent foramen ovale in a patient with deep venous thrombosis and transient ischaemic attack.
The case of a 73-year-old woman with impending paradoxical embolism is presented. The patient was hospitalised for deep venous thrombosis and transient ischaemic attack. Thorough clinical and laboratory investigation revealed an intracardiac thrombus astride the interatrial septum , most probably originating from the deep veins of the lower extremities. The thrombus was successfully removed surgically. J Med Cases. 2013;4(10):660-661 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.4021/jmc1423e
