  • Title: Paradoxical embolism in the presence of right-to-left shunt due to tricuspid occlusion.
    Author: Vicol C, Danov V, Struck E.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1995 Oct; 60(4):1111-2. PubMed ID: 7574963.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 33-year-old woman suffering from a paradoxical peripheral embolism in the presence of a right-to-left shunt at the level of an ostium secundum defect is presented. A functional stenosis of the tricuspid valve due to obstruction through a thrombotic atrial mass was found to be responsible for the right-to-left shunt. Treatment consisted of peripheral embolectomy, removal of the atrial mass, and closure of the atrial septum defect.
