Triple percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is mainly performed for secondary prevention of presumed paradoxical embolism. Since a residual shunt has been associated with recurrent events, complete PFO closure is desirable. We report the first case of ultimately successful percutaneous PFO closure using successively 3 Amplatzer PFO devices.

متن کاملUsefulness of percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for hypoxia.
We report a patient with hypoxia secondary to a right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale, following aortic root, valve, and arch replacement due to an aortic dissection in the setting of the Marfan syndrome. Following the operation, he failed extubation twice due to hypoxia. An extensive workup revealed a right-to-left shunt previously not seen. The patent foramen ovale was closed usi...
