Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke [PDF]

Circulation, 2005
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 ...

Redescription of the cranial morphology of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) from the Pleistocene of Brazil using x‐ray computed tomography

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Amphisbaenians (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) are fossorial reptiles with highly specialized cranial morphology, yet their fossil record is frequently limited by fragmentary preservation. This study provides a detailed osteological redescription of the skulls of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti from the Pleistocene of Lagoa Santa ...

Diagnosis of Patent Foramen Ovale

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2010
We read with great interest the improved echocardiographic diagnostic protocol for patent foramen ovale (PFO) by Rana et al. ([1][1]). We wish to highlight some relevant issues. Demonstrating the presence of PFO does not establish its etiopathogenic role in systemic embolization.

Patent foramen ovale and stroke [PDF]

Journal of Cardiology, 2010
The presence of a patent foramen ovale has been found to be associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke of otherwise unknown origin (cryptogenic stroke). The present article will review the evidence regarding this association, the technical aspects of PFO detection, and the preventive options to decrease the risk of recurrent cerebral events.

A Large Retrospective Study to Evaluate Utility of Zephyr Covered Stent in Transcatheter Closure of Sinus Venosus Defects

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter closure (TCC) of sinus venosus defects (SVD) using balloon‐expandable covered stents is an emerging alternative to surgery. ZephyrCS (Sahajanand Laser Technologies, Gandhinagar, India) is available in long lengths to suit SVD closure.

Anatomical Study of Pterygospinous and Pterygoalar Bar in Human Skulls with their Phylogeny and Clinical Significance [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Background: Pterygospinous and pterygoalar ligaments present at the cranial base may sometimes get ossified leading to the formation of complete or incomplete bony bars in relation to foramen ovale.

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure Using a PFO Occluder After an Incomplete Surgical Ligation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The case regards a 73‐year‐old male who was referred for consideration of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure. His left atrial appendage was ligated during prior mitral valve surgery, but was noted to be patent on a recent transesophageal echocardiography. An Amulet device was selected based on CT planning.

Extensive Pulmonary Thromboembolism and Serious Threat of Systemic Thromboembolism in a Suspected COVID Recovered Patient

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2021
Hemodynamically significant large pulmonary embolism causes right ventricular dysfunction that stretches open the foramen ovale in the atrial septum. Paradoxical embolism is common in patients with right ventricular dysfunction. While anticoagulation and

Clinical and Cytogenomic Characterization of Three Patients With Distal 1q43q44 Deletion: Twin Sisters With a de novo Deletion and a Patient With der(1)t(1;21)(q43;q22.3)mat

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Distal 1q43q44 deletions lead to a consistent neurodevelopmental phenotype characterized by microcephaly, corpus callosum abnormalities, and developmental delay. Despite differences in genomic architecture, overlapping deletions affecting dosage‐sensitive genes such as AKT3, HNRNPU, and ZBTB18 define the core phenotype.
