Heart transplantation complicated by a patent foramen ovale of the recipient atrial septum ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY Yun, K. L., Reichenspurner, H., Schmoker, J., Hu, B., Stinson, E. B. 1996; 62 (3): 897-899
Abstract
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. Primary closure was performed with correction of the right-to-left shunt.
