Obstructing Chiari Network Facilitating Blood Flow Across a Patent Foramen Ovale Causing Hypoxia

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
A 36-year-old man with progressive dyspnea and hypoxia was found to have a large, partially fenestrated Chiari network accelerating blood flow through a patent foramen ovale with preservation of an embryonic right-to-left atrial flow pattern.
