Patent Foramen Ovale—A Not So Innocuous Septal Atrial Defect in Adults

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
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 ...

Percutaneous Closure of the Patent Foramen Ovale on Right Ventricular Mechanical Circulatory Support

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
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 closure review: decades of research and the evolution of the evidence

The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2021
Background A quarter of the population suffers from patent foramen ovale, a form of interatrial shunt. It has been linked to cryptogenic strokes and is a common cause of paradoxical embolism.

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke

Circulation Journal, 2016
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 ...

Persistent hypoxemia after an asthma attack

The Ultrasound Journal, 2019
The presence of an unknown intracardiac shunt due to a patent foramen ovale may be an unusual cause of hypoxemia. We report the case of a patient who presented persistent hypoxemia after an adequate treatment for a severe asthma attack requiring ...

Development of the interatrial wall during the ontogenesis of foetuses and children up to one year of age

Folia Morphologica, 2020
BACKGROUND: The foramen ovale, present in foetal interatrial septum, plays an important role during foetal life. During delivery, foramen ovale closes and becomes fossa ovalis, starting the pulmonary circulation.

Joint Metabonomic and Instrumental Analysis for the Classification of Migraine Patients with 677-MTHFR Mutations [PDF]

, 2010
Migraine is a neurological disorder that correlates with an increased risk of cerebrovascular lesions. Genetic mutations of the MTHFR gene are correlated to migraine and to the increased risk of artery pathologies.
