Thrombosis at the Site of Pulmonary Venous Anastomosis Following Lung Transplantation Presenting with Multiple, Bilateral, Supra- and Infra-Tentorial Ischemic Strokes in the Setting of a Known Patent Foramen Ovale (P4.355)
CONCLUSIONS: PFO-related stroke risk over time remains a controversial matter and so does its prevention by closure, as there is no current evidence-based data to justify this procedure except on anecdotal basis. LT patients may represent a subset population who could benefit from pre-operative PFO screening and closure, especially if they have a history of prior strokes.Disclosure: Dr. Yeung has nothing to disclose.
