Causes of ischemic stroke in young adults versus non-young adults: A multicenter hospital-based observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Certain embolic sources and uncommon causes may be etiologically important causes of ischemic stroke in young adults. However, the contribution of conventional vascular risk factors and lifestyle-related risk factors is not negligible with advancing age, even in young adults.PMID:35830430 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0268481

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Percutaneous Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Preventing Secondary Ischemic Stroke in Japan
Cryptogenic ischemic stroke is a type of ischemic stroke for which the mechanism of onset and etiology cannot be explained or specified by any known mechanisms/factors. The possible involvement of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the etiology of cryptogenic ischemic stroke has been reported.1 It was previously reported that occult atrial fibrillation and PFO were embolic sources that caused cryptogenic ischemic stroke.2 PFO is an opening formed during the course of fetal atrial septum development. Usually, it closes spontaneously after birth; however, PFO remains patent after maturation to adulthood.

Clinical Experience of Percutaneous Patent Foramen Ovale Closure using the Amplatzer PFO Occluder in Japanese Patients to Prevent the Recurrence of Cryptogenic Stroke
Conclusion: Percutaneous closure using Amplatzer PFO occluder is a safe procedure for Japanese patients However, further investigations with a larger sample and longer follow-up are needed to confirm this result.PMID:34024855 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.7188-21
