AI Article Synopsis
- - A paradoxical embolism occurs when a blood clot from a vein crosses into the systemic circulation through a heart defect, often a patent foramen ovale.
- - Treatment approaches include either closing the patent foramen ovale or using medical management, depending on individual risk factors and the specific heart defect involved.
- - The text discusses a case of a paradoxical stroke that developed complications, including hemorrhagic conversion, leading to the need for an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter.
Article Abstract
A paradoxical embolism is defined as a venous thrombus that crosses through a heart defect, into the systemic circulation, usually through a patent foramen ovale. Treatment varies between closure of patent foramen ovale vs. medical management based on a variety of individual risk factors and the cardiac defect's characteristics. We describe a case of paradoxical stroke complicated by hemorrhagic conversion, ultimately requiring an IVC filter.
