It is well known that patency of the foramen ovale (PFO) is a risk factor for decompression illness (DCI) in scuba divers, even if they adhere to the currently accepted and used decompression tables (termed "an undeserved hit"). The correction of the PFO through percutaneous closure after DCI is an ongoing discussion. We describe a case of a diver who redeveloped a cutaneous DCI due to a recurrent PFO after initial treatment with an occluder device four years earlier.
众所周知,卵圆孔未闭(PFO)是水肺潜水员发生减压病(DCI)的一个危险因素,即使他们遵循目前公认和使用的减压表(称为“不应有的打击”)。DCI后通过经皮封堵纠正PFO是一个正在进行讨论的问题。我们描述了一例潜水员的病例,该潜水员在四年前初次使用封堵器治疗后,因复发性PFO再次发生皮肤型DCI。
