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 ...

Clinical and Pathophysiological Interplay Between Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Patent Foramen Ovale: A Comparative Narrative Review. [PDF]
Patent ductus arteriosus may contribute to persistent or reopened patent foramen ovale through secondary pulmonary hypertension and altered right‐sided cardiac pressures. Although concurrent PDA and PFO have not been clearly documented in veterinary medicine, comparative evidence from human literature supports a potential haemodynamic interaction ...
