A paradoxical embolism is a specific type of embolism in which the embolus travels from the right side of the heart (venous circulation) to the left side of the heart (arterial circulation) and lodges itself in a blood vessel known as an artery. [2]

2023年9月4日 · Paradoxical Embolism (PDE) occurs when a thrombus crosses an intracardiac defect into the systemic circulation. Patients may present with symptoms based on the site of the resultant embolization. These sites can include the brain, …

2024年6月4日 · A paradoxical embolism happens when an embolus – typically a blood clot – travels from the right side of the heart to the left without going through the lungs, explains Omar Lattouf,...

2010年11月9日 · Paradoxical embolism, or venous thromboembolism transit from right- to left-sided cardiac chambers, may occur via interventricular, interatrial, or pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. PFO rates are higher in cryptogenic stroke patients than in the general population.

The clinical manifestations of paradoxical embolism (PDE) are nonspecific, making the diagnosis difficult to establish. Patients with PDE may present with signs and symptoms of systemic...

Paradoxical embolism is an important clinical entity among patients with venous thromboembolism and the presence of cardiac or pulmonary shunts. The clinical manifestations are serious but diverse and make the diagnosis challenging at times.

2001年4月11日 · Paradoxical embolism (PDE) describes the passage of venous or right-sided cardiac thrombus into the arterial or systemic circulation. This occurs most commonly through an intracardiac defect at the atrial level. 1 First reported by Cohnhein in 1877, 2 PDE was once believed to account for few acute arterial occlusions.

2017年6月30日 · Paradoxical embolism (PDE) refers to the direct passage of venous thrombi into the arterial circulation through an arteriovenous shunt. PDE is a rare phenomenon and accounts for <2% of all arterial emboli.

Paradoxical embolism, a complex and often misunderstood medical condition, poses unique challenges in both diagnosis and management. It refers to the passage of an embolus from the venous to the arterial circulation through a heart defect, most commonly a …
