Abstract

Patent foramen ovale is a congenital heart disease prevalent in about 30% of the adult population and is associated in the genesis of ischemic cerebrovascular events, peripheral arterial occlusions, and less commonly, with acute coronary syndrome. Paradoxical coronary artery embolism is considered rare, being an underdiagnosed cause of acute myocardial infarction in patients with a low risk profile for coronary heart disease. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation of the anterior wall due to presumed paradoxical embolism with subsequent percutaneous occlusion of the patent foramen ovale.
