Résumé
Background
Thrombus in transit (TIT) through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) or atrial septal defect (ASD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition associated with paradoxical embolism. Despite advances in imaging and interventional techniques, optimal management strategies remain poorly defined.
Objectives
To systematically characterize the clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, management strategies, and outcomes of adult patients with TIT across right-to-left intra-atrial shunts.
