Impending paradoxical embolism (IPDE) is the presence of a thrombus in the patent foramen ovale. Usually, IPDE is diagnosed by echocardiography or a multislice computed tomography scan and is performed during the evaluation of a patient presenting with suspected pulmonary embolism. We report 2 patients who presented with IPDE and were successfully treated with cardiac surgery and thrombolytic therapy. Thus, we focus our discussion on the diagnosis and treatment modalities of this rare entity.
即将发生的矛盾性栓塞（IPDE）是卵圆孔未闭中的血栓。通常，IPDE 通过超声心动图或多层计算机断层扫描诊断，并在疑似肺栓塞患者的评估中进行。我们报告了 2 例 IPDE 患者，他们成功地接受了心脏手术和溶栓治疗。因此，我们重点讨论了这种罕见实体的诊断和治疗方法。
