Clinical manifestation and imaging characteristics of transient global amnesia: patent foramen ovale as an underlying factor [PDF]
Transient global amnesia is not rare, but its etiology remains unknown. Cerebral ischemia is a suspected cause because high signal intensity is observed on diffusion-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging; however, previous studies have not ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke [PDF]
"Patent foramen ovale and stroke Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a remnant of the fetal circulation whose role in the occurrence of ischemic stroke is now well established. Trancatheter PFO closure followed by long-term antiplatelet therapy reduces by approximately 60% compared to antithrombotic therapy alone, the risk of stroke recurrence in patients ...

Patent Foramen Ovale—A Not So Innocuous Septal Atrial Defect in Adults
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital atrial septal defect with an incidence of 15–35% in the adult population. The development of the interatrial septum is a process that begins in the fourth gestational week and is completed only after ...

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

Percutaneous Closure of the Patent Foramen Ovale on Right Ventricular Mechanical Circulatory Support
Right ventricular infarction can precipitate severe right-to-left shunting and refractory hypoxia from a previously dormant patent foramen ovale. Right ventricle mechanical circulatory support and patent foramen ovale closure can play a crucial role in ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke
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 ...
