- Abstract
We report a case of thromboembolism-in-transit through a patent foramen ovale that could cause systemic embolism in a patient with pulmonary embolism. An accurate and quick diagnosis by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography allowed emergent surgical thromboembolectomy to be performed without complications. Integral diagnostic workup should be performed in case of acute pulmonary thromboembolism whether the patient is hemodynamically stable or not.
