The right-to-left shunt (RTLS) through a latent patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a rare complication of right ventricle myocardial infarction (MI). Though a rare complication, the development of refractory hypoxemia after right ventricular MI should always alert clinicians to consider the possibility of shunting across PFO. Right-sided Impella (Impella RP) can be considered in such patients, which helps to decrease the elevated right heart pressure reducing the shunt, thereby providing a bridge to recovery.
