Paradoxical Embolus

The association between air travel and deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism “economy-class syndrome” is well described. However, this syndrome does not describe any association between long duration travel and arterial thrombosis or coexistence of venous and arterial thrombosis. We present a case of concomitant deep venous thrombosis, acute femoral artery thrombosis, and bilateral pulmonary embolisms in a patient following commercial air travel. Echocardiogram did not reveal an intracardiac shunt that may have contributed to the acute arterial occlusion from a paradoxical embolus. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature that associates air traveling with both arterial and venous thrombosis.

Overseas Travel

It is convenient to separate those who differ from the general travelling population into easily identifiable categories or special groups. Each of these groups will require advice, medication, or vaccines that are tailored for their specific needs. Thus, the pregnant traveller must be warned of the increased risk of air-travel-related venous thrombosis, the diabetic of the danger of poor glycaemic control, and the young (male) traveller of the risks of casual sex. While there are very few people for whom overseas travel is absolutely contraindicated, common sense should always be heeded.
