Medical Treatment For Paradoxical And Saddle Pulmonary Embolism In A Young Man With Patent Foramen Ovale And Coronavirus Disease 2019
TURKISH JOURNAL OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE(2021)
摘要
Here, we reported a 32-year-old male presenting to the emergency department with respiratory symptoms and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis. Multiple thrombi were detected in his heart and inferior vena cava, probably due to former deep-vein thrombosis. The presence of patent foramen ovale and high pressure of the right heart caused the clots to enter the heart's left side. He received fibrinolytics, and his condition improved with no need for surgery. Hence, patients with impending paradoxical embolism may take advantage of medical treatment, such as fibrinolytics. Moreover, COVID-19 appears to be associated with a strong thrombotic tendency, and anticoagulants might be helpful.
