Abstract

The association between recurrent episodes of pulmonary embolism, stroke, and congenital anomalies of the clotting system features a condition of increased risk of recurrences despite anticoagulant therapy. We report the successful management of this association with percutaneous closure of the foramen ovale and placement of an inferior caval vein filter.
