  • Title: Radiological reasoning: pulmonary embolism--thinking beyond the clots.
    Author: Maldjian PD, Anis A, Saric M.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2006 Mar; 186(3 Suppl):S219-23. PubMed ID: 16498137.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: We discuss the CT findings in a case of pulmonary embolism complicated by paradoxical embolism in a patient with a patent foramen ovale and atrial septal aneurysm. CONCLUSION: When confronted with a case of pulmonary embolism on CT, besides evaluating the extent of pulmonary artery occlusion, the radiologist should examine the cardiovascular system to identify any unsuspected underlying or associated conditions.
