Patent foramen ovale içinde sıkışmış trombüs olgusu

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) interatrial septum üzerinde, toplumun %20-25' inde görülebilen flep benzeri bir açıklıktır. PFO içinde sıkışmış, eş zamanlı pulmoner ve sistemik emboliye neden olan trombüs olguları oldukça nadir görülür. Bu yazıda ekokardiyografi ile PFO içine sıkışmış trombüs saptanan ve trombolitik tedaviden iki gün sonra tromboembolik serebrovasküler olay geçiren bir olgu sunulmuştur.

A case report of entrapped thrombus in patent foramen ovale

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a flap-like potantial space on the interatrial septum, which is present in approximately 20-25% of the population. Thrombus entrapped in PFO, which causes simultaneous pulmonary and systemic embolism, is a rare finding. This report describes a patient, in whom a trombus entrapped in PFO was detected by echocardiography and the patient developed thromboembolic cerebrovascular accident two days after the thrombolytic therapy.
