Clinical and imaging characteristics of PFO ‐related stroke with different amounts of right‐to‐left shunt
ConclusionPatients with larger RLS show more infarction in posterior circulation, higher frequency of small lesions or multiple cortical lesions. The results of our study indicate that the infarct patterns might be a clue of PFO ‐related stroke.

Advances and Ongoing Controversies in Patent Foramen Ovale Closure and Cryptogenic Stroke
Up to a third of strokes are cryptogenic. The prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with cryptogenic stroke is higher than in individuals with stroke of known origin. It has been proposed that some cryptogenic strokes can be caused by paradoxic embolism across a PFO. The treatment of PFO includes medical treatment with antithrombotic agents and percutaneous PFO closure. There is limited evidence to support PFO closure in unselected cases of cryptogenic stroke. However, large randomized clinical trials confirmed the superiority of transcatheter PFO closure compared with medical treatment in young patients wit...

Antithrombotic Therapy for Stroke Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1726331Prevention of ischemic stroke relies on the use of antithrombotic medications comprising antiplatelet agents and anticoagulation. Stroke risk is particularly high in patients with cardiovascular disease. This review will focus on the role of antithrombotic therapies in the context of different types of cardiovascular disease. We will discuss oral antiplatelet medications and both IV and parental anticoagulants. Different kinds of cardiovascular disease contribute to stroke via distinct pathophysiological mechanisms, and the optimal treatment for each varies accordingly. We will explo...

Comparison of clinical and biological differences between patent foramen ovale subtypes in ischemic stroke
ConclusionThe constant RLS group showed a higher proportion of high-grade MES than the provoked RLS group.

Potential Embolic Sources in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source Patients with Patent Foramen Ovale
Conclusion: A large proportion of ESUS patients with PFOs had concomitant PESs. The presence of concomitant PESs was associated with older age and a lower RoPE score. Further, large cohort studies are warranted to investigate the significance of the PES and their overlap with PFOs in ESUS.Cerebrovasc Dis

"Fou Rire Prodromique" as the Presentation of a Left Frontal Ischemic Stroke (P02.040)
CONCLUSIONS: Frontal lobe involvement affecting the Broca's area, as we described in our case, has only been described once. We conclude that the patient's laughter attack was the initial manifestation of the stroke suggesting that an acute infarct of Broca's area is capable of producing this unusual clinical presentation.Disclosure: Dr. Rosales has nothing to disclose.

The Therapeutic Value of Laboratory Testing for Hypercoagulable States in Secondary Stroke Prevention
Although screening for hypercoagulable states is commonly performed as part of the evaluation of first arterial ischemic stroke in young adults, available evidence does not support this as a routine practice, even in patients with cryptogenic stroke and a positive family history of early thrombotic events or in patients with a patent foramen ovale. Testing for antiphospholipid antibodies is a possible exception because persistent antibodies are associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke. Despite the lack of supporting data, screening for hypercoagulable states in recurrent early-onset cryptogenic cerebral ischem...

Assessment of Morphology of Patent Foramen Ovale with Transesophageal Echocardiography in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Patients
The frequency of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is greater in patients who have had a stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) than that in the general population. However, it is not well defined, which PFO would cause stroke or TIA. In this trial, we aimed to evaluate whether there was a difference regarding morphologic features of PFO in patients who were symptomatic (cryptogenic stroke or history of TIA) or asymptomatic according to the neurologic findings.

Cryptogenic postpartum stroke.
Abstract An estimated 25-40% of ischemic strokes are classified as cryptogenic, which means the cause of the cerebral infarction remains unidentified. One of the potential pathomechanisms - especially among young patients with no cardiovascular risk factors - is paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale. Pregnancy, cesarean delivery and the postpartum period are associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular events. Factors that may contribute to ischemic strokes during gestation and puerperium include classic cardiovascular risk factors, changes in hemostaseology/hemodynamics, and pregnancy-specif...

Non ‐obstructive carotid atherosclerosis and patent foramen ovale in young adults with cryptogenic stroke
ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that NOCA is common in young adults with CS. NOCA is negatively associated with PFO. Detecting NOCA is an important component of stroke investigation in young adults.

2017 Round-up Stroke research in 2017: surgical progress and stem-cell advances
To show that progress has been made in stroke intervention, it is possible to cite several substantial advances over the past year. Beginning with a clinical highlight: three randomised trials1 –3 that tested the safety and efficacy of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure after a cryptogenic stroke reported their results simultaneously. The CLOSE trial1 enrolled patients who had a recent PFO-attributed stroke associated with either an atrial septal aneurysm or a large, right-to-left intera trial shunt.

Closure of patent foramen ovale for cryptogenic stroke patients: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials
ConclusionsTDC plus anti-thrombotic drugs is superior than medical therapy alone for secondary prevention of stroke, especially for those with male gender and with substantial shunt size of foramen ovale. Though it may increase the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation, it would not bring higher risk of all-cause mortality, total adverse events and bleeding.

Transcranial Doppler to detect right ‐to‐left shunt in cryptogenic acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsTranscranial Doppler with “bubble test” appears as the best screening test for the detection of RLS in young and middle‐aged adults with cryptogenic acute cerebral ischemic events to select patients potentially suitable for closure procedure after TEE confirmation.
