AB  - An impending paradoxical embolism (IPDE) is seldom observed in clinical practice. 
      We report a case of IPDE in a 67-year-old female with severe dyspnea and 
      hypotension, which was detected and successfully treated with emergent cardiac 
      surgery. The optimal treatment is still controversial. We believe that emergent 
      surgery always should be considered in patients with IPDE. <Learning objective: 
      We report a rare case of an impending paradoxical embolism in a 67-year-old 
      female with severe dyspnea, which was successfully treated with emergent cardiac 
      surgery. An emergent open surgery always should be considered in patients with 
      impending paradoxical embolism.>.
