Patent Foramen Ovale and Closure Technique with the Amplatzer Occluder
Proof that percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) is superior to medical treatment is still incomplete. Paradoxical embolism is a rare event occurring over decades rather than years. None of the 4 randomized trials published carried enough patients or was followed up for long enough to reach superiority endpoints. All data, however, point to a benefit of PFO closure. Free wall e...
متن کاملRetrieval of Embolized Amplatzer Patent Foramen Ovale Occlusion Device: Issues Related to Late Recognition
Embolization of a percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure device is a rare but serious complication. While early, periprocedural device embolization can normally be managed with snare and percutaneous retrieval, late embolization requires a different management strategy due to inability of the device to deform to allow passage into a large caliber sheath. We present a case of asymptomat...

متن کاملIntermediate and Long-Term Results of Transcatheter Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale Using the Amplatzer Patent Foramen Ovale Occluder: One Case of Pulmonary Embolism Irrespective of Patent Foramen Ovale Closure
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) due to paradoxical embolism, and in the pathogenesis of migraine. This paper reports the intermediate and long-term results of transcatheter closure of PFO associated with cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), TIAs and migraine, using the Amplatzer PF...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale with Amplatzer PFO Occluder: a single center experience.
INTRODUCTION Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with the occurrence of cryptogenic strokes, transient neurological ischemic attacks (TIA) and migraine. Therefore despite the recent ambiguous results of prospective controlled trials, percutaneous closure of PFO is still performed in many centers. AIM To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous PFO closure in the prevention o...
