Diagnostic Ultrasound Features and Outcome of Restrictive Foramen Ovale in Fetuses With Structurally Normal Hearts [PDF]
Pediatric Cardiology, 2014 Intrauterine foramen ovale (FO) restriction in association with congenital heart disease (CHD) carries a poor prognosis. However, in the absence of CHD, the clinical importance of restrictive FO in the fetus is not well understood. We evaluated the antenatal prevalence, clinical presentation, diagnostic ultrasound features, and outcome of restrictive ...

Progressive Anatomical Closure of Foramen Ovale in Normal Neonatal Mouse Hearts [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2012 AbstractIn the prenatal heart, right‐to‐left atrial shunting of blood through the foramen ovale is essential for proper circulation. After birth, as the pulmonary circulation is established, the foramen ovale functionally closes as a result of changes in the relative pressure of the two atrial chambers, ensuring the separation of oxygen depleted venous

Comparative anatomy of the foramen ovale in the hearts of cetaceans [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2007 AbstractThe structure of the cardiac foramen ovale from 17 species representing six cetacean families, the Monodontidae, Phocoenidae, Delphinidae, Ziphiidae, Balaenidae and the Balaenopteridae, was studied using the scanning electron microscope. Eight white whale fetuses (Delphinapterus leucas) and a narwhal fetus (Monodon monoceros) represented the ...

Heart-Stroke Team: A multidisciplinary assessment of patent foramen ovale-associated stroke [PDF]
European Stroke Journal, 2023 Introduction: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure prevents recurrent ischemic stroke in selected patients with a cryptogenic stroke. Trial results tend to be generalized to daily practice, often extending original trial inclusion criteria. This may result in unnecessary closure without benefit, but with risk of complications.

Closure of a patent foramen ovale and tricuspid valve replacement after heart transplantation
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996 Patent foramen ovale has been noted after cardiac transplantation. Rarely is surgical intervention warranted. In this communication we report a case of severe tricuspid regurgitation and paradoxical embolism secondary to a patent foramen ovale in a patient 19 months after heart transplantation.

Patent foramen ovale: a variant of normal or a true congenital heart disease?
Cardiovascular PathologyForamen ovale plays a key role in foetal circulation, however it may remain patent after birth throughout the life. Its patency is so frequent in healthy people (27-35 %), such as to be considered a variant of normal. It is at risk of complications, like paradoxical embolism by right to left shunt with stroke, migraine, temporary blindness, as well as ...
