  • Title: Pulmonary and paradoxical coronary embolism with a patent foramen ovale.
    Author: Falcetta G, Scioti G, Barzaghi C, Bortolotti U.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2018 Jun; 26(5):413-415. PubMed ID: 29734837.
    Abstract:
    Paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale is a very unusual event considering that this cardiac anomaly may be present in as much as 26% of the general population. We describe the case of a 68-year-old man with a pulmonary and paradoxical coronary embolism in the presence of a patent foramen ovale. The finding of a worm-shaped thrombus though the atrial septum together with the risk of further embolization through the atrial septum prompted surgical treatment.
