Percutaneous closure of PFO in patients with reduced oxygen saturation at rest and during exercise : short- and long-term results [PDF]

, 2020
Background. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a rare cause of hypoxemia and clinical symptoms of dyspnea. Due to a right-to-left shunt, desaturated blood enters the systemic circulation in a subset of patients resulting in dyspnea and a subsequent ...

Foramen ovale closure is a process of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition leading to fibrosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an atrial septal deformity present in around 25% of the general population. PFO is associated with major causes of morbidity, including stroke and migraine.

The Foramen Ovale [PDF]

Evolution, 1954
We recently have studied the cranial nerve foraniina in American specimens of the oldest of the Equidae, the early Eocene Hyracotherium (eohippus). Our description will not be published in its present form since, during the summer of 1953, a party from the Anierican Museum of Natural History excavated the first undistorted eohippus skulls ever found in

Extracranial Non-Gasserian Ganglion Application of Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation on the Mandibular Branch of the Trigeminal through the Foramen Ovale for Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Pain Physician, 2021
BACKGROUND Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the trigeminal Gasserian ganglion via the foramen ovale is still one of the classic treatments for primary trigeminal neuralgia. However, the Gasserian ganglion is deep in the middle cranial fossa.

Migraine and patent foramen ovale: correlation, coexistence, dependence. A narrative review. [PDF]

Headache
Plain Language Summary This review looked at what scientists know about the connection between migraine and a small heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It showed that people with migraine, especially with aura, often have PFO, but it is not certain whether closing this heart opening helps prevent strokes in these patients.

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 ...

Comparison of Two Different Pulsed Radiofrequency Modes for Prevention of Postherpetic Neuralgia in Elderly Patients with Acute/Subacute Trigeminal Herpes Zoster

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
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 ...
