Acute coronary syndrome and platypnoea-orthodeoxia with thoracic and interauricular septal aneurysms.

We present a case of platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome in a 85-year-old woman with patent foramen ovale, interauricular septal aneurysm and ascending aortic aneurysms who was admitted for an acute coronary syndrome which could be of embolic origin and was responsible for ventricular fibrillation during the transfer to the hospital. PFO closure was performed by percutaneous device and right coronary artery obstruction was treated by transluminal angioplasty and stenting. PMID: 26875900 [PubMed - in process]
