When Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Can Cause Trouble-A Misplacement of Pacemaker Lead Into the Left Ventricle. [PDF]

Case Rep Cardiol
Misplacement of pacemakers lead into the left ventricle (LV) is a rare but clinically important complication, often facilitated by unrecognized intracardiac shunts such as a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Early recognition is essential to avoid systemic embolization and ensure safe device function.

Patent Foramen Ovale—A Not So Innocuous Septal Atrial Defect in Adults

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital atrial septal defect with an incidence of 15–35% in the adult population. The development of the interatrial septum is a process that begins in the fourth gestational week and is completed only after ...

Patent foramen ovale

Practical Neurology, 2020
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is the most common anatomical cause of an interatrial shunt. It is usually asymptomatic but may cause paradoxical embolism, manifesting as stroke, myocardial infarction or visceral/peripheral ischaemia. PFO is a risk factor for

Patent Foramen Ovale [PDF]

Texas Heart Institute Journal, 2014
Structural-heart-disease specialists perform procedures that will correct anatomic abnormalities of the heart, such as patent foramen ovale (PFO): a congenital opening in the interatrial septum. In utero, the foramen ovale is an extremely important structure, because it enables oxygenated blood from the placenta to travel from the fetus's right atrium ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Cryptogenic Stroke: Integrated Management

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common cardiac abnormality with a prevalence of 25% in the general population. PFO has been associated with the paradoxical embolism causing cryptogenic stroke and systemic embolization.

Heterogeneity of Treatment Effects in an Analysis of Pooled Individual Patient Data From Randomized Trials of Device Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale After Stroke.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2021
Importance Patent foramen ovale (PFO)-associated strokes comprise approximately 10% of ischemic strokes in adults aged 18 to 60 years. While device closure decreases stroke recurrence risk overall, the best treatment for any individual is often unclear.
