We describe a case of refractory hypoxemia secondary to a patent foramen ovale immediately after orthotopic heart transplantation in a 60-year-old woman. The patent foramen ovale was successfully closed with a septal occlusion device, with resolution of the hypoxemia. To our knowledge, transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale in an adult patient with refractory hypoxemia during the immediate post-transplant period has not previously been reported.
我们描述了一例60岁女性原位心脏移植术后继发于卵圆孔未闭的难治性低氧血症病例。使用间隔封堵装置成功闭合卵圆孔未闭后，低氧血症得以缓解。据我们所知，此前尚未有关于在移植后即刻对成年难治性低氧血症患者行经导管闭合卵圆孔未闭的报道。
