Abstract
Impending paradoxical embolism is a biatrial thrombus in transit across a patent foramen ovale. It constitutes a rare clinical condition, possibly associated with multiple embolization and high mortality. We report the exceptional case of a 71-year-old-man presenting a giant impending paradoxical thrombus, complicated with pulmonary, cerebral, and coronary embolization. The patient underwent urgent surgery and was finally discharged without complications.
