Stroke Prevention After Cryptogenic Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCryptogenic stroke represents a heterogenous but clinically important collection of stroke etiologies for which our understanding continues to grow. Here, we review our current knowledge and most recent recommendations on secondary prevention for common causes of cryptogenic stroke including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, atrial cardiopathy, patent foramen ovale, and substenotic atherosclerotic disease as well as the under-recognized mechanisms of occult malignancy, heart failure, and, most recently, infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).Recent FindingsThe res...

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).

NobleStitch PFO Closure for Recurrent Strokes in a Patient on ECMO with COVID-19
Severe hypoxemia secondary to SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pneumonia is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality.1 Patent foramen ovales (PFOs) can exacerbate hypoxemia through an intracardiac shunt, slowing recovery and worsening outcomes.2-4 Cryptogenic stroke is a complication commonly associated with PFOs; however, current guidelines do not address PFO management in COVID-19 patients who experience recurrent paradoxical emboli, especially in the setting of COVID-19 pneumonia, increased right-sided pressures, and a hypercoagulable state.
