Patent Foramen Ovale Closure: State of the Art

Interventional Cardiology, 2020
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common abnormality affecting between 20% and 34% of the adult population. For most people, it is a benign finding; however, in some people, the PFO can open widely to enable paradoxical embolus to transit from the venous ...

Patent foramen ovale: a novel cardiovascular risk factor in patients with sleep disordered breathing and high altitude dwellers?

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2016
Diseases associated with chronic hypoxaemia are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Western countries. Epidemiological data indicate that cardiovascular diseases contribute substantially to this problem, but the underlying mechanisms are ...

An unusual case of upper limb ischemia in a marathon runner

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2020
Acute limb ischemia in young adults warrants thorough investigation to determine the underlying cause. Here, we present a case of acute upper limb ischemia in a marathon runner secondary to paradoxical embolism.

Vascular air embolism during percutaneous nephrolithotomy without pneumopyelogram: a case report of successful rescue

Journal of International Medical Research, 2022
Vascular air embolism (VAE) is a rare complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Paradoxical air embolization resulting from VAE may be more likely to occur in patients with an atrial-septal defect, such as patent foramen ovale.

Long‐Read Genome Sequencing Establishes Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in DNM1 With Distinct Functional Effects as the Cause of Early Infantile Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous de novo and inherited biallelic pathogenic variants in DNM1 have been reported in association with autosomal dominant (AD) and autosomal recessive (AR) developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, respectively, due to aberrant dynamin function or expression, with each inheritance pattern associated with a different mechanism of ...

Early recurrent ischemic lesions in patients with cryptogenic stroke and patent foramen ovale: an observational study [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Randomized controlled trials indicate that patent foramen ovate (PFO) closure reduces risk of stroke recurrence in patients with cryptogenic stroke and PFO. However, the optimal time point for PFO closure is unknown and depends on the risk of

A Population‐Based Assessment of Cancer Risk in Children With VACTERL

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cancer risk in children with VACTERL, a nonrandom co‐occurrence of ≥ 3 defects (vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophogeal fistula, renal, and limb), remains unclear. We evaluated this association in a population‐based study. We analyzed data from the Genetic Overlap Between Anomalies and Cancer in Kids (GOBACK) Study, a US registry linkage ...
