ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 68 years old patient with platypnea orthodeoxia syndrome who has been clinically suspected on cutaneous saturation position's variation. It has been confirmed by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). TEE showed the size of patent foramen ovale (PFO), visualised the right to left shunt. A right heart angiography confirmed echocardiographic data and allowed successful closure by a Cardioseal percutaneous transcatheter button device implantation. Symptom's disappearance and a TEE control after 2 months confirmed the success of the procedure.
