Partial PFO Closure for Persistent Hypoxemia in a Patient with Ebstein Anomaly
Ebstein anomaly is characterized by deformities of the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve and atrialization of the right ventricle. Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation are recommended to have tricuspid valve surgery with concomitant atrial ...

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

Early recurrent ischemic lesions in patients with cryptogenic stroke and patent foramen ovale: an observational study [PDF]
Background: Randomized controlled trials indicate that patent foramen ovate (PFO) closure reduces risk of stroke recurrence in patients with cryptogenic stroke and PFO. However, the optimal time point for PFO closure is unknown and depends on the risk of
