Abstract
A rare adverse event of a right-sided pneumectomy with an elevated hemidiaphragm is right-to-left shunting through a patent foramen ovale. In this case report we describe our experience with plication of the right hemidiaphragm with instantaneous hemodynamic results and pain relief, followed by secondary closure of the foramen ovale.
