Transcatheter 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...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of migraine headache is higher in cryptogenic stroke patients with PFO than in the general population.

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 کاملPercutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale.
AIM To review the safety and efficacy of percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in symptomatic patients without the use of general anaesthesia or echocardiographic guidance. METHOD All patients accepted for percutaneous PFO closure by our service from August 2002 to August 2004 were included. Patient demographics and clinical information were obtained from clinical records and by ...
متن کاملTriple percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure
Percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is mainly performed for secondary prevention of presumed paradoxical embolism. Since a residual shunt has been associated with recurrent events, complete PFO closure is desirable. We report the first case of ultimately successful percutaneous PFO closure using successively 3 Amplatzer PFO devices.
