Abstract
    It is well known that patency of the foramen ovale (PFO) is a risk factor for decompression illness (DCI) in scuba divers, even if they adhere to the currently accepted and used decompression tables (termed "an undeserved hit"). The correction of the PFO through percutaneous closure after DCI is an ongoing discussion. We describe a case of a diver who redeveloped a cutaneous DCI due to a recurrent PFO after initial treatment with an occluder device four years earlier.
