A 48-year-old man visited our emergency room after experiencing sudden left back pain, diaphoresis, and nausea. The patient underwent physical and laboratory examinations. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the left costovertebral angle. Laboratory examination revealed a slight elevation in D-dimer levels. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a bilateral pulmonary embolism and left renal infarction. Back pain was resolved following anticoagulation therapy with heparin. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The patient was discharged on an anticoagulant, apixaban. Identifying the cause of paradoxical embolisms, such as an atrial septal defect or PFO, in cases with an arterial embolism in a young patient with no underlying disease is important.

“…The time of diagnosis is one of the defining factors indetermination of the therapeutic modality. Several studies showed that the kidney can sustain its viability only for 1–3 hours without any blood supply,9, 10, 11 other studies showed that intervening within 1–2 days is reasonable and total recovery of the kidney is to be expected due to the presence of collateral circulation. Hence, patients diagnosed several days after the fact or if a shrunken kidney is seen on computed tomography, conservative management via anticoagulation is recommended.…”
