Ischemic Stroke Occurring During Intercourse in Young Women on Oral Contraceptives
We present 2 cases of young women taking oral contraceptives, each presenting with an ischemic stroke. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a patent foramen ovale in one patient and an atrial septal defect in the other. The most likely cause of stroke in both patients is embolic. Despite conflicting evidence, young patients presenting with ischemic stroke and found to have a patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect should be considered for possible device-based closure.

Characterization of blood flow through intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses and patent foramen ovale at rest and during exercise in stroke and transient ischemic attack patients
ConclusionsNovel genetic predispositions reported here in PFO subjects should be investigated further in larger stroke and/or TIA patient datasets.

Effect of patent foramen ovale closure for prevention on recurrent stroke or transient ischemic attack in selected patients with cryptogenic stroke
ConclusionsOur study showed that PFO closure may be an effective treatment strategy to prevent recurrent stroke or TIA for patients with CS if it is conducted in selective patients who have PFO shunt more than moderate grade.

Patent foramen ovale, role of antiplatelet therapy alone or anticoagulant therapy alone versus device closure for cryptogenic stroke: A review of literature and current recommendations.
Authors: Nagarajarao HS, Ojha CP, Kedar A, Mukherjee D Abstract Cryptogenic stroke and its relation to the Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a long debated topic. Recent clinical trials have unequivocally established the relationship between cryptogenic strokes and paradoxical embolism across the PFO. This slit like communication exists in everyone before birth, but most often closes shortly after birth. PFO may persist as a narrow channel of communication between right and left atria in approximately 25-27% of adults [1, 2]. In this review we examine the clinical relevance of the PFO with analysis of latest trials eva...

Patent foramen ovale closure for secondary prevention of cryptogenic stroke.
Authors: Kolte D, Palacios IF Abstract Introduction: A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is highly prevalent among the adult population. It allows shunting of blood through the inter-atrial septum and has been associated with cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemic attack, platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome, decompression sickness (e.g. deep-water divers), and migraines. Areas Covered: In this manuscript, we will review the anatomy of PFO with particular emphasis on the factors associated with increased risk of paradoxical embolization, as well as the different modalities for the diagnosis of PFO. We will discuss medical, surg...

Secondary stroke prevention after TIA or ischemic stroke
Herz. 2021 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s00059-021-05035-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is one of the main causes of mortality and permanent disability. Secondary prevention of stroke recurrence therefore has a high priority. Secondary prevention of ischemic stroke includes optimization of the lifestyle and diet, treatment of risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, prophylaxis of recurrence with antiplatelet treatment in patients with high vascular risk and anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation. In addition, secondary prevention includes carotid surgery or stenting in selected symptomati...
