Early recurrent ischemic lesions in patients with cryptogenic stroke and patent foramen ovale: an observational study [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Randomized controlled trials indicate that patent foramen ovate (PFO) closure reduces risk of stroke recurrence in patients with cryptogenic stroke and PFO. However, the optimal time point for PFO closure is unknown and depends on the risk of

Circulation, 2005
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 ...
