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 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

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 stroke and may be associated with migraine with aura. New evidence suggests PFO closure reduces the

Vascular air embolism during percutaneous nephrolithotomy without pneumopyelogram: a case report of successful rescue

Journal of International Medical Research, 2022
Vascular air embolism (VAE) is a rare complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Paradoxical air embolization resulting from VAE may be more likely to occur in patients with an atrial-septal defect, such as patent foramen ovale.

Embolic strokes of undetermined source: prevalence and patient features in the ESUS Global Registry [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Recent evidence supports that most non-lacunar cryptogenic strokes are embolic. Accordingly, these strokes have been designated as embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS).
