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.…”

Nonconvective Forces: A Critical and Often Ignored Component in the Echocardiographic Assessment of Transvalvular Pressure Gradients by Michael S. Firstenberg, Erik E. Abel, Thomas J. Papadimos, Ravi S. Tripathi

“…Echocardiography is routinely used to assess ventricular and valvular function, particularly in patients with known or suspected cardiac disease and who have evidence of hemodynamic compromise. A cornerstone to the use of echocardiographic imaging is not only the qualitative assessment, but also the quantitative Doppler-derived velocity characteristics of intracardiac blood flow. …”
