Abstract

Embolus-in-transit leading to a paradoxical embolus or a pulmonary embolus is an uncommon phenomenon that requires a high degree of suspicion to make a clinical diagnosis. We present three interesting cases that have been encountered in our practice and describe the surgical treatment undertaken to correct the problem.
