George Weisz, Richard Haber

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The inter-atrial foramen allowing for intra-uterine arterial oxygenation should close after the birth. The foramen however remains open, unknown and undiagnosed unless an increase in the right ventricular pressure transfers emboli in to the general oxygenated arterial system. Specific embolic syndromes exist in orthopedic surgery and will be briefly enumerated.
