Patent foramen ovale in young stroke patients: diagnostic challenge and a new approach to the secondary prevention (a case report and review of literature)

Neurologijos seminarai, 2018
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) occurs in about 25% of healthy adults, however, it is significantly more common among patients with cryptogenic stroke. Although PFO might be a direct cause of ischemia, it is often an accidental finding in stroke patients. In

Left Atrial Dynamics Is Altered in Young Adults With Cryptogenic Ischemic Stroke: A Case‐Control Study Utilizing Advanced Echocardiography

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Ischemic stroke in young individuals often remains cryptogenic. Some of these strokes likely originate from the heart, and atrial fibrosis might be one of the etiological mechanisms.

The management of cryptogenic stroke in pregnancy [PDF]

Obstetric Medicine, 2011
Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) during pregnancy are uncommon but can have devastating consequences. The causes of CVA in both the pregnant and the non-pregnant state are diverse and require thorough investigation. Recent studies have indicated that embolic stroke in young adults may be caused by paradoxical emboli through a patent foramen ovale (PFO)

Diagnostic Yield of TEE in Patients with Cryptogenic Stroke and TIA with Normal TTE: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Neurology International, 2021
Introduction: The role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in cryptogenic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) with normal transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains controversial in the absence of definite guidelines. We aimed to perform a

Cryptogenic Stroke and Patent Foramen Ovale [PDF]

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
Nearly one-half of patients with cryptogenic stroke have a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The dilemma of whether to close these PFOs percutaneously, in an effort to reduce the risk of recurrent paradoxical embolism, has been a matter of ongoing debate for more than a decade.

ECG Smart Monitoring versus Implantable Loop Recorders for Atrial Fibrillation Detection after Cryptogenic Stroke—An Overview for Decision Making

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Up to 20% of patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack have a prior history of known atrial fibrillation (AF). Additionally, unknown AF can be detected by different monitoring strategies in up to 23% of patients with cryptogenic or non ...

Disruption of the Blood–Brain Barrier Predicts Progression of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease White Matter Hyperintensities

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to test if blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption, detected using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) imaging, would predict progression of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) over the subsequent year in patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease. Methods The study included patients with a history of stroke
