Partial PFO Closure for Persistent Hypoxemia in a Patient with Ebstein Anomaly by S. A. Zuberi, S. Liu, J. W. Tam, F. Hussain, D. Maguire, M. Kass

“…Complete percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure led to acute decompensation; however, partial closure led to hemodynamic stability and improved oxygenation. In conclusion, similar patients with “patent foramen ovale dependency” from longstanding shunts may benefit from partial patent foramen ovale closure.…”
