  • Title: Nonsurgical closure of a patent foramen ovale in a patient with carcinoid heart disease and severe hypoxia from interatrial shunting.
    Author: Marenco J, Naimi S, Hijazi Z, Patel A, Pandian N.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2000 Oct; 51(2):210-3. PubMed ID: 11025579.
    Abstract:
    We report the percutaneous transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale using an Amplatzer septal occluder in a rare patient with carcinoid heart disease involving both the right and left heart who presented with severe hypoxemia secondary to intra-atrial shunting. We believe this is the first report of this technique being utilized in a patient with carcinoid heart disease and it may represent an alternative to surgical closure in these patients at high risk for surgical complications.
