Abstract
Patent foramen ovale has been noted after cardiac transplantation. Rarely is surgical intervention warranted. In this communication we report a case of severe tricuspid regurgitation and paradoxical embolism secondary to a patent foramen ovale in a patient 19 months after heart transplantation. The patient underwent successful closure of the patent foramen ovale and tricuspid valve replacement.
