AB  - 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.
