Platypnea‐Orthodeoxia Syndrome in the Setting of Patent Foramen Ovale Without Pulmonary Hypertension or Major Lung Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Patent foramen ovale (PFO)‐associated platypnea‐orthodeoxia syndrome is characterized by dyspnea and hypoxemia when upright. The pathogenesis is thought to involve an increase in right atrial pressure or change in degree of right to left ...

Patent foramen ovale in children: Unique pediatric challenges and lessons learned from adult literature

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2022
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a frequent incidental finding during echocardiography in otherwise healthy children. In most healthy children with a diagnosis of isolated incidental PFO, no further follow-up or intervention is necessary. In some children,

Proposed neural crest involvement in concomitant bifid xiphoid process and atrial septal defect: A case study and review of literature

Translational Research in Anatomy, 2022
Background: The sternum and the heart are derived from the mesodermal germ layer; abnormalities in their development and differentiation can result in sternal and cardiac defects, including bony malformations and septal defects, respectively.

Left atrial anomalous muscular band as incidental finding during video-assisted mitral surgery [PDF]

, 2018
Congenital fibromuscular bands have been described inleft ventricle or right atrium and have been diagnosed by echocardiography and CT scan. The first report of anomalous band in the left atrium was described in 1897 by Rollestone (1).

Echocardiographic features and outcome of restrictive foramen ovale in fetuses with and without cardiac malformations: Literature review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 2022
Foramen ovale is a small communication between the left and the right atrium and its restriction is a rare congenital heart anomaly. There is no consensus on diagnosis and management of fetal restrictive foramen ovale (RFO).

Patent Foramen Ovale, Ischemic Stroke and Migraine: Systematic Review and Stratified Meta-Analysis of Association Studies [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Observational data have reported associations between patent foramen ovale (PFO), cryptogenic stroke and migraine. However, randomized trials of PFO closure do not demonstrate a clear benefit either because the underlying association is ...

Echocardiographic characteristics of transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale with mallow biodegradable occluder: A single-center, phase III clinical study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Background Transcatheter occlusion of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has become a recognized treatment option for high-risk PFO-related diseases. However, traditional metal occluders have some disadvantages, such as permanent retention in the body, abrasion ...
