摘要：

We present the case of a 67-year-old man with concomitant stroke and pulmonary embolism 1 day after radiofrequency catheter ablation for refractory atrial tachycardia. A chest computed tomographic angiogram revealed "thrombus-in-transit" across a patent foramen ovale, confirming the diagnosis of paradoxical embolism. Paradoxical embolism is a rare definitive diagnosis. Our case is a key demonstration of the even rarer instance where such a diagnosis is confirmed at multidetector computed tomography.
