IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 7863: Suture-Mediated Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Using the NobleStitch EL: Results from a Hospital-Based HTA
Conclusion: We suggest that there is inadequate evidence to conclude the relative efficacy of NobleStitch EL as compared to APO. Nevertheless, this report shows a good safety profile and higher costs for NobleStitch EL, with no organizational or legal impact. Further studies in selected population are recommended.

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).

Clinical RoPE (cRoPE) score predicts patent foramen ovale detection among stroke patients: a multicenter observational study
ConclusionsConclusions:  cRoPE might help in stratification of patients with CS, allowing accurate esteem of the likelihood of PFO to be found, especially in cases when neuroimaging is inconclusive.

Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Lesion Patterns in Stroke Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale and Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Artery Dissection
Conclusion: The present study suggests that lesion patterns observed from DWI of patients with PFO and SIAD might provide clues to the etiology of infarcts. Single lesions (cortical or subcortical) might be a typical feature of PFO associated strokes, while multiple lesions in one vascular territory might be a specific feature of SIAD associated strokes. Introduction Both patent foramen ovale (PFO) and spontaneous intracranial artery dissection (SIAD) are important stroke risk factors, especially in young and middle-aged adults (1–3). About 25% of patients with ischemic stroke are cryptogenic (4), and PFO is ...

Percutaneous Closure Versus Medical Treatment in Stroke Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Conclusion: Compared with medical treatment, PFO closure prevents recurrent stroke and TIA but increases the incidence of AF or AFL in PFO carriers with cryptogenic stroke.
