Article Synopsis
- * Initially, an echocardiogram showed no significant PFO issues, but after surgery, the patient faced severe hypoxemia and ventilation difficulties, prompting further tests.
- * A repeat echocardiogram revealed major PFO elongation and shunting, leading to successful transcatheter closure that greatly improved the patient's oxygen levels and allowed for easier recovery from mechanical ventilation.
