Kidney Transplant Recipient With Cerebral Paradoxical Embolism Following Recurrent Idiopathic Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Exp Clin Transplant. 2024 Jan;22(Suppl 1):348-353. doi: 10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.P38.ABSTRACTParadoxical embolism occurs when a thrombus crosses an intracardiac defect into the systemic circulation. Here, we present the case of a 35-yearold male kidney transplant recipient with a cerebral paradoxical embolism associated with a spontaneous venous thromboembolism. This patient had recurrent deep venous thrombosis and showering emboli to the lung and paradoxically to the brain through patent foramen ovale, and we treated him successfully. The role of bubble echocardiography was essential in diagnosis to avoid contrast-induced ne...

Association between patent foramen ovale and migraine: evidence from a resting-state fMRI study
AbstractA relationship between migraine without aura (MO) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been observed, but the neural basis underlying this relationship remains elusive. Utilizing independent component analysis via functional magnetic resonance imaging, we examined functional connectivity (FC) within and across networks in 146 patients with MO (75 patients with and 71 patients without PFO) and 70 healthy controls (35 patients each with and without PFO) to elucidate the individual effects of MO and PFO, as well as their interaction, on brain functional networks. The main effect of PFO manifested exclusively in the FC a...

Risk factors for the development of cryptogenic stroke and the predictive value of right-to-left shunt in patent foramen ovale
CONCLUSIONS: The right-to-left shunt of patent foramen ovale was an independent risk factor for cryptogenic stroke, which was positively correlated with the paradoxical embolic risk score. Its combination with clinical serologic indexes had a high clinical value for predicting cryptogenic stroke.PMID:38375707 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202402_35338 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)
