Economy Class Syndrome, patent foramen ovale and stroke
Whether or not air travel in a patient with patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a risk factor for cerebral embolism is unresolved. This is illustrated by a recent case report of the Massachusetts General Hospital in the New England Journal of Medicine of deep venous thrombosis and stroke associated with air travel. The discussant concluded that because of the relatively short flight “it seems unlikely that air travel was a major risk factor” 1. This may well be true for deep venous thrombosis per se, the risk of which has been shown to increase with duration of the flight 2.

Patent foramen ovale closure in non-elderly and elderly patients with cryptogenic stroke: a hospital-based cohort study
DiscussionPFO closure was associated with a reduced risk of the primary outcome in patients with PFO and CS in our total cohort, which included non-elderly and elderly patients. Compared to those without PFO closure, elderly patients with PFO closure had a better functional outcome at 180 days. PFO closure might be considered in selected elderly patients with PFO.

Cn-14 * retrospective analysis of ischemic cerebral strokes in patients diagnosed with a glioblastoma during the course of a bevacizumab treatment
Bevacizumab is an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor approved in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. It prolongs progression-free survival, improes radiologic response and contributes to reduce the dose of dexamethasone required to control peritumoral edema. Arterial and venous thromboembolic events represent significant toxicities related to the use of angiogenesis inhibitors. Various mechanisms could be implicated in bevacizumab-related strokes, as cardioembolic, lacunar stroke related to hypertension, deep venous thrombosis passing through a patent foramen ovale, pro-coagulant effect of the underlying glioblas...

Can Patent Foramen Ovales Cause Problems?
Discussion During fetal development, the heart primum and secundum septa grow and overlap leaving a small but important channel between the two atria. The foramen ovale is a flap valve moving blood from the right atrium into the left atrium directly and bypassing the high pressure pulmonary system. After birth and breathing air, the neonate’s lungs open up and the pulmonary vascular resistance decreases. The left atrium now has a relatively higher pressure than the right atria, and therefore pressure on the flap valve closes the foramen ovale. Usually within 6-12 months, the fusion of the primum and secundum of the f...

Right superior vena cava drainage into the left atrium revealed by multiples strokes after pacemaker implantation
An 84-year-old woman had undergone dual-chamber pacemaker implantation in a primary care hospital for sick sinus syndrome. The leads were inserted through the right subclavian vein because the patient was left-handed. One year later, she suffered from an ischemic stroke. During ventricular pacing, ECG showed a right bundle branch block pattern, and chest radiography (A) suggested that pacing lead tips were in the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle. After transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, it was initially thought that the leads passed through a patent foramen ovale. A thrombus on the ventricular lead was ...

E-135 Dejerine-roussy syndrome in the setting of right sigmoid sinus thrombosis: a unique case report
DiscussionThis case illustrates the important clinical aspects and physical findings needed to diagnose DRS. The presence of focal allodynia and hyperalgesia with recent cerebrovascular incidents provides significant evidence for DRS. The purpose of this case is to provide awareness and to increase clinical suspicion of DRS during examination, especially in the setting of cerebral venous sinus occlusion as infarction alone may not present as atypical allodynia.Disclosures S.

Foreign body granuloma as an unexpected long-term finding after percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale
A 67-year-old man was referred to our hospital for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Eight years earlier, prior to diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, the patient suffered an ischaemic stroke. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) was diagnosed and the patient underwent percutaneous PFO closure by implantation of a Premere device (20  mm, St. Jude Medical). One month ago, the patient had another middle-cerebral artery infarction, which was considered cardioembolic due to insufficient anticoagulation. However, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) obtained on current admission demonstrated a suspicious mass in the left atrium...

Multiple Cerebral Infarctions Due to Patent Foramen Ovale in a Patient with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis 6 years ago due to asthma, sinusitis, hypereosinophilia, and peripheral neuropathy based on the diagnostic criteria of American College of Rheumatology, and corticosteroid therapy achieved a remission. One year ago, he was hospitalized due to deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, and rivaroxaban was administrated. He was admitted to our hospital for acute onset of diplopia and right hemiparesis. Peripheral blood examinations disclosed leukocytosis with hypereosinophilia.

Association between acute myocardial infarction and death in 386 patients with a thrombus straddling a patent foramen ovale
Right atrial thrombi are rarely found straddling a patent foramen ovale (PFO). A thrombus straddling a PFO (TSPFO), also known as impending paradoxical embolism, is a medical emergency associated with up to 11.5% risk of death within 24  h of being diagnosed. We hypothesized that acute myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke (IS) diagnosed upon the admission of patients with TSPFO are associated with increased risk of death. We also investigated if specific acute therapies are associated with reduced in-hospital mortality.

Thrombus in transit across a patent foramen ovale in a patient with cerebrovascular accidents, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis
We present the case of a 42-year-old woman admitted to the hospital with a third stroke. The presence of a thrombus in transit through a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), bilateral pulmonary emboli, and an acute cerebral infarct were concurrently documented.PMID:34269269 | DOI:10.4103/aca.ACA_120_19
