Introduction: The platypnea orthodeoxia syndrome is a rare clinical entity combining positional dyspnea and arterial oxygen desaturation during the transition to orthostatism, reversible on return to decubitus. The most frequent etiology of this syndrome is the presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) responsible for a right-to-left intracardiac shunt, the severity of which results in significant functional disability and a risk of death from hypoxia.
Case Report: We report the case of a 93-year old patient on long-term oxygen, initially hospitalized for acute heart failure following a community-acquired urinary tract infection.

Surveillance imaging at 45 to 90 days after transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion device implantation with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or cardiac computed tomography (CT) is recommended to assess device position and the presence of device-related complications such as device-related thrombus (DRT) or peridevice leak. Detection of DRT is associated with a significantly increased risk of a stroke or systemic embolization event within 6 months of detection. Nonetheless, there is significant variability in detection of DRT as a result of timing, frequency, and imaging modality used for surveillance.
