Embolus-in-transit can cause paradoxical or pulmonary emboli, necessitating high clinical suspicion for diagnosis. This report details three surgical cases to correct this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Embolus-in-transit is an uncommon cause of paradoxical or pulmonary embolism.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • Three cases of embolus-in-transit are presented.
  • These cases highlight the diagnostic challenges and varied presentations.
  • Surgical intervention was performed in all cases.

Findings:

  • Surgical treatment was successfully employed to manage embolus-in-transit.
  • The findings underscore the importance of surgical options in complex embolic events.

Implications:

  • This study emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion for embolus-in-transit.
