Paradoxical embolism complicating massive pulmonary embolus

P A Poole-Wilson, A R May, D Taube

    Thorax
    |June 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Paradoxical embolism, a rare complication of venous thromboembolic disease, can occur through a patent foramen ovale. Surgical intervention is crucial for massive pulmonary embolism cases involving paradoxical emboli.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Venous thromboembolic disease can lead to paradoxical embolism.
    • Patent foramen ovale is a potential pathway for paradoxical emboli.

    Observation:

    • A case of massive pulmonary embolism with paradoxical embolus was reported.
    • The embolus traversed a patent foramen ovale.

    Findings:

    • Paradoxical embolism is a recognized, albeit unusual, complication.
    • Surgical intervention is indicated in massive pulmonary embolism with paradoxical emboli.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering paradoxical embolism in specific clinical scenarios.
    • Underscores the role of surgical management in complex pulmonary embolism cases.
    • Emphasizes prompt diagnosis and intervention for improved patient outcomes.
