Intracranial Hemorrhage as a Marker for Mycotic Aneurysm in Patients With Infective Endocarditis
Discussion Patients with left-sided and right-sided endocarditis with PFO and ICH on CNS imaging were more likely to have mycotic aneurysms detected through DSA than similar patients without ICH. Routine DSA screening for mycotic aneurysms may not be required in patients with endocarditis undergoing evaluation for valve surgery who present without ICH on CNS imaging.

Risk factors and complications associated with intra-operative or post-operative identification of a PFO in cardiac surgery patients: A cohort study
ConclusionPatent foramen ovale finding incidence in peri-operative cardiac surgery care was rare (2%) but post-operative finding of PFO was associated with a increased risk of ischemic strokes, worsened respiratory outcomes, and prolonged hospitalization.

ADAMTS-13 activity in stroke of known and unknown cause: Relation to vascular risk factor burden
ConclusionADAMTS-13 activity is inversely correlated with the number of vascular risk factors across different stroke etiologies. Further study is warranted to establish ADAMTS-13 as a mediator of cerebrovascular risk.

Challenging Cases in Cerebrovascular Disease
We present four cases of stroke of uncommon cause and remind clinicians to be open minded to the many possible causes of stroke, in particular because early recognition and treatment is often critical. Case 1 discusses a patient with inflammatory cerebral amyloid angiopathy. The presentation, ability to recur, and current treatment considerations are reviewed. Case 2 discusses microangiopathic thrombotic angiopathy. Diagnosis and treatment are considered. An association with interferon therapy and the evolving terminology of this and related conditions are discussed. Case 3 discusses intracranial hemorrhage secondary to ac...

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

Association of Atrial Septal Aneurysm and Shunt Size With Stroke Recurrence
This individual patient data meta-analysis evaluates the association of patent foramen ovale closure on stroke recurrence according to shunt size and/or the presence of an atrial septal aneurysm.

Broadening Our SCOPE of Understanding Patent Foramen Ovale High-risk Features and Stroke
Paradoxical embolization of a blood clot of presumed venous origin through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is increasingly recognized as a legitimate cause of otherwise cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CIS). The term PFO-associated stroke has been proposed, as has where and how to classify this entity in the nomenclature of various ischemic stroke subtyping systems. PFOs are common, with prevalence as high as 25% in the general population. The prevalence of PFO is further increased in patients with CIS (overall 2.9 times higher), and especially so in the subset of younger patients (<55 years, 5.1 times higher). One estimate of...

Stroke in sickle cell disease and the promise of recent disease modifying agents
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemoglobinopathy affecting approximately 100,000 individuals in the United States. Cerebrovascular disease is among the most common and debilitating complications of SCA, with 53% experiencing silent cerebral infarct by age 30 and 3.8% experiencing overt stroke by age 40  years. This review highlights the burden of cerebrovascular disease in SCD, including both stroke and silent cerebral infarct (SCI). We then discuss the pathophysiology of stroke and cerebral fat embolism in the absence of a patent foramen ovale.

Diagnostic Value of Micro-Bubble Transcranial Doppler Combined with Contrast Transthoracic Echocardiography in Cryptogenic Stroke Patients with Patent Foramen Ovale
Conclusion: The combination of MB-TCD and cTTE can improve the sensitivity and specificity of PFO diagnosis in cryptogenic stroke patients. MB-TCD medium also had high sensitivity and specificity.

Prevalence of Patent Foramen Ovale in North Indian Cryptogenic Young Strokes
Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of RLS likely secondary to PFO in cryptogenic young strokes in north India. TCD with bubble contrast is an excellent bedside tool for the detection of RLS.

Ipsilateral Carotid Plaque Presence is Inversely Associated with Patent Foramen Ovale in Cryptogenic Stroke: A Multicenter CohortStudy
Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) accounts for up to  20% of all strokes. Potential contributors to ESUS include patent foramen ovale (PFO) and non-stenotic plaque (
