Percutaneous closure of interatrial communications in adults – prospective embolism prevention study with two- and three-dimensional echocardiography
BACKGROUND Patients with interatrial communications after paradoxical embolic events are at risk for recurrent thromboembolism. We hypothesized that transcatheter closure of the defects would result in long-term prevention of systemic embolism and performed clinical and echocardiographic follow-up. METHODS We included 161 patients (mean age 46.8 +/- 11 years, 83 females) with patent foramen o...
متن کاملHeart Carcinoid Disease with Patent Foramen Ovale Treated by Mini Sternotomy
This case report was an attempt to present the importance of diagnostic echocardiography and closure of a patent foramen ovale in carcinoid heart disease. Herein, we present a case of a 48-year-old woman with a carcinoid metastasis presenting with tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonic stenosis, patent foramen ovale, and borderline left ventricular ejection fraction on an echocardiogram. Surgical in...
متن کاملIschemic Stroke in Patients with Percutaneous Patent Foramen Ovale Closure
Background: The prevalence of patent foramen ovale is approximately 50% in patients who have suffered a cryptogenic stroke. The recurrence of ischemic stroke after percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure is approximately 1% per year. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of recurrent ischemic stroke in our population undergoing percutaneous patent foramen ovale closu...
متن کاملUtility of real-time three-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography for patent foramen ovale closure.
Recently, many interventional centres have adopted intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) in preference to transoesophageal echocardiography to guide percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure. ICE obviates the need for general anaesthesia, facilitating earlier hospital discharge, and gives superior imaging capability, particularly of the inferior interatrial septum. 2 The advent of real-time...
