Closure of patent foramen ovale for paradoxical emboli: intermediate-term risk of recurrent neurological events following transcatheter device placement.
OBJECTIVES We report the largest and the longest follow-up to date of patients who underwent transcatheter patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure for paradoxical embolism. BACKGROUND Closure of a PFO has been proposed as an alternative to anticoagulation in patients with presumed paradoxical emboli. METHODS Data were collected for patients following PFO closure with the Clamshell, CardioSEAL or...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of patent foramen ovale after presumed paradoxical embolism.
BACKGROUND Many have proposed a relation between presence of a patent foramen ovale, with or without atrial septal aneurysm, and cryptogenic stroke. The effect of foramen ovale closure on the risk for subsequent strokes is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale was undertaken in 36 patients with known right-to-left atrial shunting and presumed paradoxical...
متن کاملTranscatheter Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale.
P atent foramen ovale (PFO), the most common postnatal residue of the fetal circulation, has for many years been considered to have almost no clinical relevance. In an autopsy study from the Mayo Clinic, PFO was found in 27% of 965 normal human hearts, with an incidence declining with increasing age (34% in the first three decades and 20% in the ninth and 10th decades).' PFO size ranged between...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale in patients with paradoxical embolism: long-term risk of recurrent thromboembolic events.
BACKGROUND Patients with a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and paradoxical embolism are at risk for recurrent thromboembolic events. This study investigated the long-term risk of recurrent thromboembolic events in patients with PFO and paradoxical embolism after percutaneous PFO closure. METHODS AND RESULTS Since 1994, a total of 80 patients with PFO and at least 1 paradoxical embolic event (trans...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of transcatheter closure versus medical therapy for patent foramen ovale in prevention of recurrent neurological events after presumed paradoxical embolism.
OBJECTIVES In this study, a meta-analysis of observational studies was performed to compare the rate of recurrent neurological events (RNE) between transcatheter closure and medical management of patients with cryptogenic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and concomitant patent foramen ovale (PFO). BACKGROUND A significant controversy surrounds the optimal strategy for treatment of crypt...
