초록
A paradoxical embolism is defined as a systemic arterial embolism requiring the passage of a venous thrombus into the arterial circulato -ry system through a right-to-left shunt, and is commonly related to patent foramen ovale (PFO). However, coexisting pulmonary embo-lisms, deep vein thromboses (DVT), and multipe systemic arterial embolisms, associated with PFO, are rare. Here, we report a patient who had a cryptogenic ischemic stroke, associated with PFO, which is complicated with a massive pulmonary thromboembolism, DVT, and re-nal infarctions, and subsequently, the patient was treated using a thrombolytic therapy.
