Abstract
We report the second case of a right-to-left interatrial shunt due to a carcinoid tumor, which was successfully corrected bg surgery. The pa tient had closure of a patent foramen ovale and tricuspid valve replac ement. One and a half years after surgery, the patient had no symptoms related to heart disease.
