    To illustrate the association between a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and paradoxical embolization. We report a unique case of a paradoxical embolization across a PFO noted during a transesophageal echocardiographic study. Serial images demonstrate the thrombus migrating from the superior vena cava to the left atrium across the PFO. This case establishes the association between the PFO and paradoxical embolism unequivocally.
