Predisposing Conditions

Hypoxia is a well-recognized consequence of venous admixture resulting from right to left intracardiac shunting. Right to left shunting is usually associated with high pulmonary artery pressure or alteration in the direction of blood flow due to an anatomical abnormality of the thorax. Surgical or percutaneous closure remains controversial; however it is performed frequently for patients presenting with clinical sequela presumed to be resulting from paradoxical embolization secondary to right to left shunting. We report two patients with hypoxia and dyspnea due to right to left shunting through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and venous admixture in the absence of elevated pulmonary artery pressures or other predisposing conditions like pneumonectomy or diaphragmatic weakness. Percutaneous closures of the PFOs with the self-centering Amplatzer device resulted in resolution of hypoxia and symptoms related to it.

Support Decision Making

Infections with COVID-19 can induce thrombophilia and increase the risk of thrombotic events. We describe a case of a 64- years-old male who presents with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism and brachial artery thrombosis secondary to an undiagnosed patent foramen ovale and COVID-19 infection. The patient was successfully treated with thrombolysis and heparin infusions and was discharged home with long-term anticoagulation. Managing patients with multiple pathologies occurring concurrently requires effective inter-speciality working in order to take a holistic approach to managing the patient opposed to managing the conditions in isolation. This case report highlights how clinical guidelines can support decision making of the individual pathologies but working as a team will enable the best care.
