Premature Closure of Foramen Ovale

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1963
Premature closure of the foramen ovale is a rare cause of the hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Although a number of cases have been reported, early case reports often confused probe patency and premature closure. Several previous reports described edematous infants dying in cardiac failure and ascribed these findings to a normal septum secundum which ...

Patent foramen ovale and stroke

Journal of Neurology, 2018
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a highly prevalent finding in cryptogenic ischaemic stroke, particularly in young adults. A common challenge in clinical practice is to distinguish between incidental and pathogenic PFO. Some clinical features and tools such as the Risk of Paradoxical Embolism score may help determining the probability of a stroke ...

Patent foramen ovale and diving

Cardiology Clinics, 2005
Patency of the foramen ovale is a risk factor for DCS in SCUBA divers, even if they adhere to the currently accepted and used decompression tables. The primary cause of DCS, however, is the nitrogen bubble, not the PFO. There are a number of techniques any diver can use to minimize the occurrence of nitrogen bubbles after a dive.

Primary restrictive foramen ovale

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1984
A newborn infant with primary restrictive foramen ovale, tubular hypoplasia of the aortic arch, and some other developmental defects is described. This combination resulted in fetal hydrops, as was shown by ultrasonography. The child died 24 h after birth due to low output syndrome and extensive bronchopneumonia.

Migraine and Patent Foramen Ovale

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2014
Migraine is a widespread disorder with a large impact on society. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common occurrence, affecting about 25 % of the population. Observational studies report PFO to be more prevalent in patients with migraine with aura, and patients with migraine with aura have a higher incidence of PFO.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Hypoxemia

Cardiology Clinics
Although the most common clinical manifestations of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) are cryptogenic stroke and migraine with aura, PFO is also associated with platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with hypoxemia out of proportion to the extent of pulmonary disease.

Treatment of patent foramen ovale

EuroIntervention
After extensive debate, the percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been established as a first-line treatment for the secondary prevention of PFO-related stroke in patients between 18 and 60 years old, whereas the role of PFO closure for primary prevention remains controversial.
