Differences in clinical and biological factors between patients with PFO-related stroke and patients with PFO and no cerebral vascular events
We present a study concerning clinical, demographic, and laboratory factors associated with stroke and transient ischemic attack in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO), as well as comparing PFO-patients with and without cerebrovascular ischemic events (CVEs).Patients and methodsConsecutive patients with PFO-associated CVEs were included in the study; control group was selected from patients with a PFO and no history of stroke. All participants underwent peripheral routine blood analyses, as well as, on treating physician's recommendations, screening for thrombophilia.ResultsNinety-five patients with CVEs and 41 contro...

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.

Platypnoea orthodeoxia syndrome and its association with cryptogenic ischaemic stroke
J R Coll Physicians Edinb. 2023 Mar 4:14782715231159470. doi: 10.1177/14782715231159470. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlatypnoea orthodeoxia syndrome is a rare condition, which can be present in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO). In this case, a 72-year-old lady presented to the emergency department with a cryptogenic stroke associated with right thalamic infarct. While in hospital, it was noticed that the patient had desaturations in the upright position, and these improved in the recumbent position, consistent with platypnoea orthodeoxia syndrome. The patient was found to have a PFO, which was then closed, and he...

Paradoxical Emboli as a Cause of Stroke
We present two cases of PDE resulting in acute ischemic events. A 63-year-old female presented for evaluation of left upper extremity numbness. Imaging was significant for an acute right middle cerebral artery infarct and evidence of a large saddle pulmonary embolism. The patient's stroke was postulated to have been secondary to a patent foramen ovale (PFO). An 87-year-old male presented for evaluation of chest pain. The patient underwent three-vessel CABG and experienced an acute left hemispheric stroke post-operatively. Transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated a biatrial thrombus transversing a PFO and was postulated to...

Left atrial appendage occlusion
EuroIntervention. 2023 Feb 6;18(13):e1038-e1065. doi: 10.4244/EIJ-D-22-00627.ABSTRACTPrevention of stroke represents a goal of primary importance in health systems due to its associated morbidity and mortality. As several patient groups with increased stroke rates have been identified, multiple approaches have been developed and implemented: oral anticoagulation (OAC) for patients with atrial fibrillation, surgical and percutaneous revascularisation in patients with carotid disease, device closure for patients with patent foramen ovale, and now, left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) for selected patients with non-valvular...

ADAMTS-13 activity in stroke of known and unknown cause: Relation to vascular risk factor burden
CONCLUSION: ADAMTS-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.PMID:36703637 | PMC:PMC9871749 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2022.1045478
