  • Title: [Atrial thrombus entrapped in a patent foramen oval. Report of one case].
    Author: Cairoli E, Codina C, Cura L, Pino A, Alonso J.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 2008 Jun; 136(6):753-6. PubMed ID: 18769832.
    Abstract:
    We report a 63 year-old female with a pulmonary embolism in whom echocardiography revealed the presence of right heart thrombus. A section of this thrombus was entrapped in a patent foramen oval and floating in both atria. This rare situation, named impending paradoxical embolism, prompted us to perform a surgical intervention, removing the thrombus and repairing the foramen ovale.
