We report the case of a man 67-years-old with right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale in absence of pulmonary hypertension. The contrast and transesophageal echocardiography showed significant right-to-left shunt and provided insight about the mechanisms that cause it. The aortic root was enlarged compressing the right atrium. Surgical repair was performed, the foramen ovale was closed and right atrial enlargement with a patch was carried out. Disappearance of the shunt was confirmed by means of transesophageal echocardiography in surgical-room.

D006344 Heart Septal Defects, Atrial Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.
