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 ...

Perspectives in Medicine, 2012 SummaryParadoxical embolism is a possible cause of ischemic stroke, particularly in younger patients without any other cause, i.e. cryptogenic stroke, and a patent foramen ovale is the most frequently assumed cause. The contrast transcranial Doppler monitoring mode has a sensitivity that is comparable to contrast transesophageal echocardiography for ...

Patent foramen ovale and stroke [PDF]
Journal of Cardiology, 2010 The presence of a patent foramen ovale has been found to be associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke of otherwise unknown origin (cryptogenic stroke). The present article will review the evidence regarding this association, the technical aspects of PFO detection, and the preventive options to decrease the risk of recurrent cerebral events.

Acute Myocardial Infarction Secondary to Paradoxical Embolism
European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020 Patent foramen ovale is a risk factor for systemic embolic events such as cryptogenic stroke. Far less commonly, patent foramen ovale is associated with non-cerebral systemic embolic events.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke [PDF]
Practical Neurology, 2003 "Patent foramen ovale and stroke Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a remnant of the fetal circulation whose role in the occurrence of ischemic stroke is now well established. Trancatheter PFO closure followed by long-term antiplatelet therapy reduces by approximately 60% compared to antithrombotic therapy alone, the risk of stroke recurrence in patients ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Cryptogenic Stroke [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2013 To the Editor: The articles by Meier et al.1 and Carroll et al.2 and the corresponding editorial by Messe and Kent3 (March 21 issue) illustrate a major problem in clinical trials. When it is not obvious which of two therapies is better, sufficient numbers of events are essential to reach a conclusion.
