  • Title: Shut that door: a man with contemporaneous multisite paradoxical embolization.
    Author: Rigatelli G, Dell'Avvocata F, Cardaioli P, Giordan M, Bernasconi M, Palu' M.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Revasc Med; 2009; 10(2):125-7. PubMed ID: 19327676.
    Abstract:
    Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been recognized as mediator of paradoxical embolism. Concurrent multisite paradoxical embolization is a quite rarely reported occurrence. We present a case of multisite paradoxical embolism (pulmonary, cerebral, upper limb) mediated by a large right-to-left shunt mediated by a PFO with associated a redundant Eustachian valve, successfully treated with PFO transcatheter closure and vena cava filter placement.
