چکیده
A 57 year old patient presented with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis and severe hypoxaemia secondary to transient right-to-left interatrial shunting through a patent foramen ovale. The final diagnosis was made because of the initial detection of a shunt while the patient was breathing 100% oxygen.

Right-to-left shunting through a patent foramen ovale without pulmonary hypertension. Transient improvement after balloon catheter closure.
A patient had a history of right tuberculosis and severe hypoxemia secondary to right-to-left shunting through a patent foramen ovale without pulmonary hypertension. A balloon tip catheter was positioned in the left atrium and retracted against the atrial septum and the hypoxemia was temporarily resolved.
متن کاملHypoxia: An Unusual Cause with Specific Treatment
Hypoxia is a well-recognized consequence of venous admixture resulting from right to left intracardiac shunting. Right to left shunting is usually associated with high pulmonary artery pressure or alteration in the direction of blood flow due to an anatomical abnormality of the thorax. Surgical or percutaneous closure remains controversial; however it is performed frequently for patients presen...
متن کاملUse of the transseptal puncture in transcatheter closure of long tunnel-type patent foramen ovale.
Two patients with long tunnel-type patent foramen ovale presented for elective transcatheter closure following transient ischaemic attack and stroke. Right to left shunting was confirmed on transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography. A new technique that used a transseptal procedure was devised to enable closure of the tunnel-type patent foramen ovale using the CardioSEAL transseptal o...

متن کاملRight-to-left flow through a patent foramen ovale in acute right ventricular infarction. Two case reports and a proposal for management.
Right-to-left shunting through a foramen ovale complicating acute right ventricular infarction and resulting in severe arterial hypoxemia has been described eight times before. Treatment strategies have often aimed at reducing the shunt. Four patients died. Less attention has been paid to attempts at revascularization and, despite a high incidence of atrioventricular conduction disturbances, to...
