European position paper on the management of patients with patent foramen ovale. General approach and left circulation thromboembolism.

European Heart Journal, 2018
The presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of medical conditions; however, the subject remains controversial and no official statements have been published.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke [PDF]

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 ...

Ultrasound‐Based Z Score and Pulmonary Valve/Aortic Valve Diameter Ratio Improving the Predictive Value of Fetal Aortic Stenosis

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
A total of 24 singleton fetuses with suspected AS who underwent two or more fetal echocardiograms were enrolled in this study. Using electronic spatiotemporal image correlation (eSTIC) technology, the AV and PV Z scores, along with the PV/AV ratio, were measured and compared between two echocardiographic examinations to assess diagnostic efficacy ...

A rare case of stroke as a complication after percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy in a patient with intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism and patent foramen ovale

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2023
We present an extremely rare case of a patient with intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, complicated with stroke as a form of paradoxical embolism through a previously unknown patent foramen ovale ...

Intraoperative CT for Neuronavigation Guidance and Confirmation of Foramen Ovale Cannulation for Glycerol Trigeminal Rhizotomy: A Technical Report and Case Series

Cureus, 2020
Glycerol rhizotomy was originally described as an initial surgical treatment for trigeminal neuralgia after the failure of medical therapy. Here we describe its use as a salvage procedure, typically after failure of multiple other modalities including ...

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.

Fetal Ductal Constriction, Pulmonary Hypertension and Atrial Septum Mobility

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Fetuses with ductal constriction (FDC), pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular overload after maternal exposure to PGE2 inhibitors—nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or polyphenols (PF)—have increased septum primum excursion index (SPEI), the ratio between maximal septum primum displacement and left atrial diameter.

Fetal Diagnosis of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome With Restrictive Atrial Septum—Atrial Septal Morphology, Associated Lung Disease and Outcomes

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Fetuses with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and restrictive/intact atrial septum (RAS) have high mortality, partly due to pulmonary lymphangiectasia (PL). This study aimed to characterize atrial septal morphology in fetuses with HLHS and RAS and evaluate the impact of fetal intervention on PL and outcomes.

Paradoxical Embolism due to Persistent Foramen Ovale; a Case Report

Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine, 2016
The mean percentage of cryptogenic strokes among ischemic strokes is 31%, of which one-third may be associated with patent foramen ovale. The foramen ovale is required for blood flow through the fetal atrial septum.  It is formed as of the fourth week ...
