Abstract
We present the case of a 74-year-old male with chest pain, dyspnea, and syncope secondary to an acute pulmonary embolism complicated by a patent foramen ovale with straddling thrombus and paradoxical embolization. We review the literature with specific focus on the pathogenesis and acute treatment of this life-threatening occurrence.Entities:
