Recurrent stroke and massive right-to-left shunt: results from the prospective Spanish multicenter (CODICIA) study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few studies have prospectively examined the risk of recurrent stroke associated with patent foramen ovale. We present the results of the Spanish right-to-left shunt (RLSh) multicenter study. METHODS Four hundred eighty-six patients with cryptogenic stoke were included at 17 participating hospitals. Patients were examined by contrast transcranial Doppler methods at basel...
متن کاملThe prevalence of right to left shunt in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with increased pulmonary hypertension
Background: One of the important etiologies for cryptogenic stroke is paradoxical embolization secondary to Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). Foramen ovale can secondarily reopen due to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) which is common among the older age. PAH is known as a frequent and life threatening complication of COPD. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of PFO between COP...
متن کاملAbsence of recurrent stroke after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale despite residual right-to-left cardiac shunt assessed by transcranial Doppler.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale has been proposed to prevent recurrent strokes in young adults. Contrast transcranial Doppler ultrasonography provides a functional, semiquantitative evaluation of right-to-left cardiac shunt. AIMS To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale in suppressing right-to-left shunt (assessed using tra...
متن کاملContrast Enhanced Echocardiography for Detection of Intrapulmonary Shunts in Liver Transplant Candidates
Background: Intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities associated with liver cirrhosis may result in intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt and hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to use contrast enhanced echocardiography to detect intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities in patients with liver cirrhosis candidates for liver transplantation. Methods: One hundred and two adult patients underwent contrast e...
متن کاملSuccessful endovascular repair of an unusual right-to-left shunt presenting with cerebral ischemia
Ischemic stroke due to congenital cardiopulmonary vasculature anomalies is rare in adults. We report a 54-year-old man with a stroke due to a unique right-to-left shunt who underwent successful endovascular treatment. This patient developed acute onset of right arm weakness with facial droop and aphasia which improved after intravenous thrombolysis. An MRI showed acute cerebral ischemia in the ...
