Thrombus straddling a patent foramen ovale. Monaldi archives for chest disease = Archivio Monaldi per le malattie del torace, 2013, Volume: 80, Issue:3 We present a case of a 67-year-old male with pulmonary embolism. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed the presence of a mobile thrombus straddling the patent foramen ovale (PFO) and prolapsing into both atria. Treatment with heparin was started. Five days after admission, repeat TEE revealed a reduction in thrombus dimensions, so anticoagulation therapy was continued. Eleven days after admission, TEE showed complete disappearance of the thrombus.

[Ulcerated plaques of the aorta as a cause of ischaemic stroke]. Kardiologia polska, 2012, Volume: 70, Issue:5 Stroke is a second cause of mortality worldwide and a leading cause of acquired disability in adults. Approximately 20% of all ischaemic strokes are of cardioembolic origin. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with a history of stroke without changes in carotid and vertebral arteries. Echocardiography exam revealed patent foramen ovale (PFO) and abnormal echos in the aorta that were verified as advanced complex atheromas by computed tomography. Due to small size PFO was deemed insignificant and the source of embolism were most probably aortic atheromas. Patient was put on acenocumarol, aspirin and statin.

[Ulcerated plaques of the aorta as a cause of ischaemic stroke].

Kardiologia polska, 2012, Volume: 70, Issue:5

Stroke is a second cause of mortality worldwide and a leading cause of acquired disability in adults. Approximately 20% of all ischaemic strokes are of cardioembolic origin. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with a history of stroke without changes in carotid and vertebral arteries. Echocardiography exam revealed patent foramen ovale (PFO) and abnormal echos in the aorta that were verified as advanced complex atheromas by computed tomography. Due to small size PFO was deemed insignificant and the source of embolism were most probably aortic atheromas. Patient was put on acenocumarol, aspirin and statin.
