Pediatric frequent relapsing nephrotic syndrome with multiple cerebral infarctions accompanied by patent foramen ovale and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: a case report
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) presents as a hypercoagulable state, of which thromboembolism (TE) is a well-known life-threatening complication. Although TE is more likely to occur in venous vessels than a... (Source: BMC Nephrology)

Role of maternal hyperoxygenation testing to predict need for balloon atrial septostomy in fetal d-transposition of great arteries
CONCLUSIONS: In d-TGA, measurement of PFO size and direction of PDA shunting during MH testing improves our ability to predict need for BAS postnatally, although additional study is needed. We propose incorporating third trimester MH testing when planning deliveries of d-TGA fetuses. This article is protected by copyright.

Rationale and design of the SPRING trail: effectivity and safety of Pfo closuRe vs medIcine in alleviatiNg migraine, a multicenter, randomized and open-label trail
Migraine is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Several retrospective studies have suggested that the closure of the Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) may provide relief from migraines. However, three randomized... (Source: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders)

Comparative diagnostic accuracy of transcranial Doppler and contrast-enhanced transthoracic echocardiography for the diagnosis of patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic accuracy of CE-TTE appears favorable, and this imaging test may identify patients who may be missed if only TCD is used to screen patients with suspected PFO/ASD. Accordingly, CE-TTE is recommended as an adjunct diagnostic modality for all patients with a high pre-test probability of PFO/ASD and right-to-left shunt.PMID:38563605 | DOI:10.23736/S0031-0808.24.05123-1 (Source: Panminerva Medica)

Patent Foramen Ovale and Atrial Septal Defect
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defects (ASDs) are two types of interatrial communications with unique clinical presentations and management strategies. The PFO is a normal part of fetal development that typically closes shortly after birth but may persist in as many as 25% to 30% of adults. The communication between atria may result in paradoxic embolism and embolic stroke. On the other hand, ASDs (anatomically defined as secundum, primum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus in order of prevalence) typically result in right heart volume overload and are often associated with other congenital defects. The diagno...

This issue on patent foramen ovale (PFO) is dedicated to my oncologist, Alexandra Drakaki, MD, and the researchers who developed immunotherapy. Without their support, I would not have been alive to help write and edit this compendium on PFO. I had a nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in April 2023 and began immunotherapy for metastatic disease in November 2023. I appreciate the opportunity I have been given to describe the research in this field over the past 25 years. (Source: Cardiology Clinics)
