Abstract

Impending paradoxical embolism (IPDE) is a right heart thrombus (RHT), in times of elevated pulmonary arterial pressure, that is trapped in a patent foramen ovale (PFO) Myers et al. (2010) (3). We present a case that highlights our multidisciplinary approach in a patient with IPDE with cardiogenic shock from pulmonary embolism (PE).
