In young patients with stroke of undetermined etiology, large vessel occlusions are less frequent in the group with high-risk patent foramen ovale
CONCLUSION: The presence of LVO could represent a "red flag" of PFO causality in stroke of undetermined etiology, and could be implemented in future PFO-related stroke classifications.PMID:38102053 | DOI:10.1016/j.neurol.2023.11.002 (Source: Revue Neurologique)

Unveiling Complexity: A Case Report of Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome With Coronary Occlusion and a Concomitant Patent Foramen Ovale Shunt
Cureus. 2023 Nov 7;15(11):e48456. doi: 10.7759/cureus.48456. eCollection 2023 Nov.ABSTRACTAntiphospholipid syndrome (APLS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are rare autoimmune disorders that afflict a small percentage of the global female population. The complexity of these conditions is further exacerbated by their propensity to give rise to recurrent thrombosis and obstetric morbidity, thereby posing intricate challenges for clinicians and patients alike. One of the most concerning aspects of these diseases is the heightened risk they confer for accelerated atherosclerosis, which can ultimately culminate in the dev...

Differences and similarities in interatrial shunts management

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial septal defects (ASD) and Patent foramen ovale (PFO) represent the most common congenital heart diseases (CHD) adulthood. These two clinical entities, having different embryological origin, as well as clinical manifestations, clinical course and treatment must be carefully distinguished. Right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension are considered the major determinants of morbidity and mortality in ASD. Conversely, new pathophysiology concepts have been raised in the management of PFO as left atrium ca...

Stroke in a young adult: looking beyond the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence
AbstractA 37-year-old migrainous woman was referred several hours after a sudden dysarthria lasting less than 1 min. Brain MRI undertaken a few hours later showed no acute cerebral infarction on the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence. However, an intraluminal thrombus within a distal branch of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) was seen on the T2*-weighted gradient echo images as well as hyperintense v essels related to slow flow beyond the occlusion’s site. Control MRI 24 h later confirmed the presence of a small infarct affecting the distal portion of the MCA territory but the thrombus was no longer visible. A ...

Infective Endocarditis After Percutaneous Device Closure of Atrial Septal Defects: Incidence, Diagnosis, and Treatment. Case Report and Literature Review
We describe a case of late IE after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO). We also performed a literature review on this subject. We reviewed a total of 42,365 patients who were treated with percutaneous devices: 13,916 for ostium secundum (OS) (32%), 24,726 for PFO (58%) and 3,723 for OS+PFO (8%). Among these patients, we identified 50 cases of IE after atrial septal defect device closure (0.001%). In contrast to previous reports, nearly 66% of IE in this setting occurred late, after at least 6 months from the procedure (33/50 patients). A statistical analysis clearly showed that the mean time from the proced...
