Hypoplastic left heart syndrome with prenatally diagnosed foramen ovale restriction: diagnosis, management and outcome

Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2020
Objective Despite advances in prenatal diagnosis and postnatal intervention/surgery methods, patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and coexisting foramen oval restriction still achieve high mortality rates.

Patent foramen ovale associated with carcinoid heart disease

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1964
Abstract Two cases of the carcinoid syndrome with valvular disease of the heart showed a reductior in arterial oxygen saturation due to right to left shunt. In one case, necropsy revealed a functionally patent foramen ovale as the cause for the shunt; in the other case a presumptive clinical diagnosis of patent foramen ovale was made.

Assessment of patent foramen ovale in carcinoid heart disease

American Heart Journal, 2006
Carcinoid syndrome may involve right carcinoid heart disease (CHD), secondary to the release of vasoactive substances. Left CHD is rare, as the inactivation of serotonin by the lung protects the left heart. We attempted to evaluate the prevalence of CHD and patent foramen ovale (PFO) with serial contrast transthoracic echocardiographic studies and to ...

Premature closure of the foramen ovale and hypoplasia of the left heart

International Journal of Cardiology, 1984
Although premature closure of the foramen ovale has been proposed as a possible cause of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, very few such cases have been described. We have seen two examples of the combination and no associated malformations. In both the foramen was firmly closed on its left atrial aspect and the dimensions of the left sided structures ...

Patent foramen ovale in carcinoid heart disease

International Journal of Cardiology, 2010
Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is an uncommon valvular heart disease that may occur in the case of carcinoid syndrome, due to the release of serotonin. Right-sided CHD is more frequent than left-sided CHD because of inactivation of serotonin by the lung.

Foramen ovale flap aneurysm in fetuses associated with and without heart defects: Prenatal diagnosis, imaging, in‐utero hemodynamics, pregnancy, and postnatal outcomes

Echocardiography
Isolated redundant foramen ovale flap aneurysm (RFOA) in the absence of restrictive foramen ovale is believed to be a cause for pseudocoarctation of aorta since the impediment of blood flow to the left heart can be severe, resembling the picture of left ...

Fetal Heart Echocardiography Focusing Foramen Oval

2015
A 27-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 2) was referred to our echocardiography laboratory for fetal heart echocardiography. Her first infant had died of unknown reason at 7 months.

Patent foramen ovale presenting as refractory hypoxemia after heart transplantation

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 1997
Hypoxemia can be an early life-threatening complication of orthotopic heart transplantation. Commonly, hypoxemia after orthotopic heart transplantation is due to pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary complications. Rarely, structural defects either in the donor or recipient heart can lead to life-threatening hypoxemia.

Heart Transplantation Complicated by a Patent Foramen Ovale of the Recipient Atrial Septum

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
A patent foramen ovale after heart transplantation is a relatively uncommon occurrence. We report a case of a 58-year-old man with profound hypoxemia after orthotopic cardiac transplantation for end-stage ischemic cardiomyopathy. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated the presence of a patent foramen ovale in the recipient atrial cuff.

Postnatal Course of Hypoplastic Left Heart Complex and Restrictive Foramen Ovale

Pediatric Cardiology, 2009
Hypoplastic left heart complex is a cardiac malformation at the mildest end of the spectrum of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Recently, biventricular repair was proposed for such patients without retrograde flow to the ascending aorta. However, the preoperative course of these patients is unclear.
