Further examination with transesophageal echocardiography was not possible because of hostile esophageal tract. During rehabilitation exercise protocol in upright position, the patient developed severe dyspnoea and hypoxaemia. The patient was taken into the catheterization lab and a right heart catheterization with intracardiac echocardiography and eventual closure of the interatrial communication was planned.展开更多
