ABSTRACT
Background:
Myocardial infarction (MI) caused by patent foramen ovale (PFO)-based paradoxical embolism is rare, and there are few case reports in the literature. Casesummary:
Here, we report a case of MI in which optical coherence tomography revealed in situ thrombi in the PFO channel.Discussion:
In addition to paradoxical embolism, in situ thrombus may also be one of the pathogenic mechanisms of PFO in patients with MI.
