AB  - Impending paradoxical embolism (IPDE) is a clinical emergency with adverse 
      outcomes. Due to its rarity, larger research cannot be obtained to provide 
      definitive therapy alternatives. We report a case of a tumor embolus from a renal 
      cell carcinoma (RCC) that caused a right atrial mass, pulmonary embolus, and 
      impending paradoxical embolus via a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and its 
      management.
