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.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Hypoxemia
Cardiology in Review, 2019 Patent foramen ovale (PFO), an embryonic remnant of the fetal circulation, is present in 20–25% of adults. Although recent observational studies and clinical trials have established the link between PFO-mediated right-to-left shunting with cryptogenic stroke and migraine with aura, the role of a PFO in exacerbating hypoxemic medical conditions (ie ...

Patent Foramen Ovale: Story Closed? [PDF]
Journal of Stroke, 2019 The optimal treatment strategy for secondary prevention in patients with cryptogenic stroke and patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been a matter of controversy for decades. After three randomized trials failed to show a benefit of closure with an excess of complications in the interventional arm, two large recent trials suggest a benefit with regard of ...
