Platypnea Orthodeoxia Due to a Patent Foramen Ovale and Intrapulmonary Shunting After Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia |pdf=|usr=}}{{34697281}} gab.com Text Platypnea Orthodeoxia Due to a Patent Foramen Ovale and Intrapulmonary Shunting After Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia JO: Am J Case Rep http://www.kidney.de/pget.php?&tw=1&pmid=34697281 #FOAvip BACKGROUND Platypnea orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) presents with positional dyspnea and hypoxemia defined as arterial desaturation of at least 5% or a drop in PaO2 of at least 4 mmHg. Causes of POS include a variety of cardiopulmonary etiologies and has been reported in patients recovering from severe COVID-19 pneumonia. However, clinical presentation and outcomes in a patient with multiple interrelated mechanisms of shunting has not been documented. CASE REPORT An 85-year-old man hospitalized for hypertensive emergency and severe COVID-19 pneumonia was diagnosed with platypnea orthodeoxia on day 28 of illness. During his disease course, the patient required supplemental oxygen by high-flow nasal cannula but never required invasive mechanical ventilation. Chest imaging revealed evolving mixed consolidation and ground-glass opacities with a patchy and diffuse distribution, involving most of the left lung. Echocardiography was ordered to evaluate for intracardiac shunt, which revealed a patent foramen ovale. Closure of the patent foramen ovale was not pursued. Management included graded progression to standing and supplemental oxygen increases when upright. The patient was discharged to a skilled nursing facility and his positional oxygen requirement resolved on approximately day 78. CONCLUSIONS The present case highlights the multiple interrelated mechanisms of shunting in patients with COVID-related lung disease and a patent foramen ovale. Eight prior cases of POS after COVID-19 pneumonia have been reported to date but none with a known patent foramen ovale. In patients with persistent positional oxygen requirements at follow-up, quantifying shunt fraction over time through multiple modalities can guide treatment decisions.
