Concomitant AngioVac thrombectomy and patent foramen ovale closure in a patient with a large right atrial thrombus and recent paradoxical embolic stroke
Diagn Interv Radiol. 2021 Feb 18. doi: 10.5152/dir.2021.20291. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 59-year-old male with a history of gallbladder adenocarcinoma receiving chemotherapy and on therapeutic anticoagulation for portal vein thrombosis presented to the emergency department via ambulance after being found unresponsive and in cardiac arrest. Initial workup upon return of spontaneous circulation revealed a large right atrial mass, patent foramen ovale (PFO), and bilateral acute cortical infarctions. This constellation of findings were concerning for PFO-related paradoxical embolic strokes. Given the risk of recurrent pa...

Concomitant AngioVac thrombectomy and patent foramen ovale closure in a patient with a large right atrial thrombus and recent paradoxical embolic stroke.
Abstract A 59-year-old male with a history of gallbladder adenocarcinoma receiving chemotherapy and on therapeutic anticoagulation for portal vein thrombosis presented to the emergency department via ambulance after being found unresponsive and in cardiac arrest. Initial workup upon return of spontaneous circulation revealed a large right atrial mass, patent foramen ovale (PFO), and bilateral acute cortical infarctions. This constellation of findings were concerning for PFO-related paradoxical embolic strokes. Given the risk of recurrent paradoxical embolic events and the absolute contraindication to thrombolysis ...

New-onset atrial fibrillation following percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of AF post-PFO closure was low across studies, with a high level of between-study heterogeneity. Until a concerted effort is made to improve accurate AF diagnosis, it will be difficult to gauge the association between transcatheter PFO closure and incidence of AF.
