Tricuspid-regurgitation-mediated flow-driven right-to-left cardiac shunting caused systemic hypoxemia in a patient with patent foramen ovale without elevated right atrial pressure
The prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is 20–25% among adults. The role of right-to-left shunting through the PFO in systemic hypoxemia remains poorly understood. Right-to-left shunting through the PFO can occur either due to elevated right atrial pressure (pressure-driven) or directed venous...
