Morphometric characteristics of interatrial septum in patients with patent foramen ovale and cryptogenic stroke

High-risk morphometric characteristics of patent foramen ovale (PFO), as observed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), are associated with cryptogenic stroke (CS) and crucial for selecting optimal treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the pathogenic mobility interatrial septum (IAS) in patients PFO CS. The parameters 69 patients, including 32 CS 37 without CS, were assessed using TEE determine degree characteristics. had more significant IAS mobility, shorter length thinner primum thickness than non-CS patients. Multivariate analysis showed that age, independently No correlation was found middle edge secundum both groups could accurately identify PFO. characteristics, thickness.
