Unexpected Right Atrial Crossing of the Sphere‐9 Catheter Despite Stable Left Atrial Sheath Position [PDF]
The Sphere‐9 catheter unexpectedly crossed into the right atrium despite stable left atrial sheath position. A perpendicular, sheath‐supported approach may have facilitated passage of the flexible lattice tip through a small interatrial communication while the sheath remained within the left atrium.

Clinical and Pathophysiological Interplay Between Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Patent Foramen Ovale: A Comparative Narrative Review [PDF]
Patent ductus arteriosus may contribute to persistent or reopened patent foramen ovale through secondary pulmonary hypertension and altered right‐sided cardiac pressures. Although concurrent PDA and PFO have not been clearly documented in veterinary medicine, comparative evidence from human literature supports a potential haemodynamic interaction ...

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]
"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 ...

Abstract Objective Trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is often refractory to treatment. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) neuromodulation can help in preventing PHN after herpes zoster. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two different PRF modes on gasserian ganglion neuromodulation in elderly patients with acute/subacute trigeminal ...

Percutaneous Closure of the Patent Foramen Ovale on Right Ventricular Mechanical Circulatory Support
Right ventricular infarction can precipitate severe right-to-left shunting and refractory hypoxia from a previously dormant patent foramen ovale. Right ventricle mechanical circulatory support and patent foramen ovale closure can play a crucial role in ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke [PDF]
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is common and found in nearly 25% of healthy individuals. The majority of patients with PFO remain asymptomatic and they are not at increased risk for developing a stroke. The presence of PFO, however, has been found to be higher in patients with cryptogenic stroke, suggesting there may be a subset of patients with PFO who ...

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.

Petechial Rash and Glomerulonephritis
Patent foramen ovale device closure is rarely associated with complications. This case report is believed to be the first description of a patient with infective endocarditis of a patent foramen ovale closure device presenting as glomerulonephritis. This

Patent foramen ovale and stroke [PDF]
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.
