Left Upper Lung Lobectomy Is an Embolic Risk Factor for Cerebral Infarction
Cerebral embolism is typically caused by a cardiogenic thrombus. The patent foramen ovale is a well-known cause of paradoxical embolism. However, some idiopathic cases of stroke have been reported. Such strokes are designated as embolic stroke of undetermined sources. Among them, lung lobectomy may be a new embolic risk factor for cerebral embolism. The risk of thrombus formation is high at the pulmonary vein stump after lung lobectomy, especially in the left upper lobe. Interestingly, the risk remains several years after surgery.

Residual Shunt after Patent Foramen Ovale Closure: Preliminary Results from Italian Patent Foramen Ovale Survey
Conclusions: PFO closure is a safe procedure. rRLS is not uncommon but large rRLS is rare. Clinical complications, mostly related to cardiac arrhythmias, are not unusual. Evaluation of the data of the whole survey is underway.

Paradoxical Cerebral Embolism after Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in a Patient with Crohn's Disease
We describe a patient with Crohn's disease who developed paradoxical cerebral embolism after GE. Both an unstable venous thrombus in the superior vena cava and RLS through patent foramen ovale were thought to be responsible for the stroke.

Ischemic Stroke with Protein S Deficiency Treated by Apixaban
A 57-year-old man with atherosclerosis obliterans was admitted with sudden-onset sensory aphasia and right hemiparesis. Brain MRI revealed acute cerebral infarctions in the left temporal lobe and magnetic resonance angiography showed occlusion of the posterior branch of the left middle cerebral artery. Transesophageal echocardiography and ultrasonography respectively confirmed a patent foramen ovale and deep vein thrombosis in the bilateral femoral veins. Blood findings showed low protein S antigen, low protein S activity, and a missense mutation of the PROS 1 gene.

Recurrent cerebrovascular events in patients after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a potential cause of cryptogenic cerebrovascular events (c-CVEs). A score has been developed to identify stroke-related versus incidental PFO in c-CVEs. The Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) score indicates that otherwise healthy young adults with a high score are likely to have pathogenic PFO.1 –3 Until recently, there was a lack of evidence for routine closure of PFO in patients who suffered from c-CVEs.4–6 However, three recent randomized studies showed a benefit of transcatheter PFO closure compared with medical therapy.

Patent Foramen Ovale related cryptogenic stroke during COVID-19 disease in three patients: a case series
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), termed COVID-19, first detected in Whuan, was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The epidemic of COVID-19 has rapidly spread worldwide. Italy was the first European country to be affected and, currently, Italy has reported 4,343,397 COVID-19-positive cases (1).

Cerebral Infarction in an HIV-Infected Patient with Combined Protein S and C Deficiency and a Patent Foramen Ovale
A 41-year-old male with a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection developed motor aphasia, dysarthria, and right hemiparesis. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain revealed a cerebral infarction in the territory of the left middle cerebral artery. The laboratory data showed decreased levels of protein S and protein C. Transesophageal contrast-enhanced echocardiography revealed a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Prothrombotic states, such as protein S and C deficiency, have been reported in HIV-infected patients. In addition, previous studies have reported prothrombotic states to be risk factors for PFO-...

Thrombus in Transit with Isolated Paradoxical Embolism to the Subclavian Artery
We present a case in a postoperative setting, with a thrombus in transit across a patent foramen ovale. Pulmonary embolization was clinically silent and diagnosed incidentally, and systemic embolization was isolated but extensive to the subclavian artery.

Repeated Paradoxical Brain Infarctions in a Patient on Self-Managed Home Hemodialysis Using a Long-Term Indwelling Catheter
We describe the case of a 51-year-old Japanese man with an end-stage kidney disease caused by a 30-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The patient had suffered repeated bilateral multiple brain infarctions within a short period of time after the initiation of a self-managed daily home hemodialysis regimen using a long-term indwelling catheter inserted into the right atrium. Despite extensive examinations, we could not find any embolic causes except for the catheter and a patent foramen ovale (PFO).

Patent Foramen Ovale and the Risk of Cerebral Infarcts in Acute Pulmonary Embolism —A Prospective Observational Study
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with a risk of consecutive paradoxical embolism with brain infarction through a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The aims of this study were to assess the rate of new ischemic brain lesions (IBLs) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during a 12-month follow-up period with anticoagulation and to evaluate the potential relationship with the presence of PFO on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Multiple Cerebral Infarctions Due to Patent Foramen Ovale in a Patient with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis 6 years ago due to asthma, sinusitis, hypereosinophilia, and peripheral neuropathy based on the diagnostic criteria of American College of Rheumatology, and corticosteroid therapy achieved a remission. One year ago, he was hospitalized due to deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, and rivaroxaban was administrated. He was admitted to our hospital for acute onset of diplopia and right hemiparesis. Peripheral blood examinations disclosed leukocytosis with hypereosinophilia.
