Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale in patients with platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome: an Italian multicenter experience
In conclusion, PFO-related POS is often associated with complex IAS anatomy, including septal aneurysms and wider PFO tunnels. In such cases, larger and more flexible devices should be preferred for better adaptation to the unique septal structures and to obtain immediate and sustained improvements in oxygenation and symptoms. These findings emphasize the critical role of individualized device selection and procedural planning in optimizing outcomes for this challenging patient population.
