Right Ventricular Failure Following Patent Foramen Ovale Closure on Venovenous-Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We present a patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension requiring venovenous-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute respiratory distress syndrome. Refractory hypoxemia secondary to right-to-left interatrial shunting via a patent foramen ovale was discovered. Right heart catheterization with invasive occlusion test heralded worsening right heart failure so closure was aborted. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
