A: Transvenous lead removal may lead to dislodgment of endocardial lead vegetation. B: Paradoxical embolism of vegetation across a patent foramen ovale into the systemic circulation. C: Even after removal of the pacemaker lead, a mobile cast may still remain, leading to persistent risk of embolization.

A: Transesophageal echocardiogram with agitated saline showing patent foramen ovale with right-to-left shunt (arrow). B: Patent foramen ovale closure with 25-mm Gore Helex device (WL Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ). C: SpiderFX filter (Covidien, Mansfield, MA) in bilateral common carotid arteries (arrows). D: Balloon occlusion of the patent foramen ovale. Arrow points to waist of the balloon. E: Transesophageal echocardiogram showing the balloon crossing the patent foramen ovale into the left atrium (arrowhead). New clot was visualized in the right atrial portion of the balloon after balloon deployment (arrow). F: Transesophageal echocardiogram after balloon removal showing new clot across the mitral valve (arrow). LA = left atrium; RA = right atrium.
