Postoperative rescue closure of patent foramen ovale in the clinical setting of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and stroke following coronary artery bypass surgery.
We describe a case of intraoperative diagnosis and successful deferred percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the clinical setting of acute refractory hypoxemic respiratory failure and new-onset ischemic stroke in an elderly patient after coronary artery bypass graft. Perioperative morbidity (i.e. severe hypoxemia, worsening right ventricular dysfunction, and embolic stroke) that is potentially related to intraoperatively diagnosed PFO during cardiac surgery can complicate management in the Intensive Care Unit and perhaps affect the patient's outcome. Although the PFO closure can be challenging in the clin...

A Case-Based Discussion on the Management of Cryptogenic Stroke and Patent Foramen Ovale in the Patient With a Hypercoagulable Disorder
UP TO 40% of all ischemic strokes are considered cryptogenic, implying a stroke without a definitive etiology.1,2 With a dearth of evidence-guided treatment strategies, the literature surrounding cryptogenic stroke is highly variable and not well-standardized. Even though existing guidelines do not specify the exact testing required, the cryptogenic stroke evaluation includes a variety of imaging modalities (eg, echocardiography, angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, carotid ultrasound) and laboratory investigations (eg, genetic testing, hypercoagulable disorder panels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate).

Perioperative stroke arising from the interplay of patent foramen ovale, atrial septal aneurysm, and right diaphragm paralysis during endoscopic surgery
A number of risk factors and mechanisms have been associated with vulnerability to perioperative stroke, yet there remains the need to increase awareness of this potential complication, its risks, and consequences. A case of a 59 year old man who underwent a prolonged laparoscopic-thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication procedure for paralyzed right hemidiaphragm is reported. His past medical history included coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus type II, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Routine transthoracic echocardiogram performed 6 months prior to surgery was unremarkable, noting normal ejection fraction, no valvul...

Increased Risk of Perioperative Ischemic Stroke in Patients Who Undergo Noncardiac Surgery with Preexisting Atrial Septal Defect or Patent Foramen Ovale
To evaluate whether a preoperative diagnosis of atrial septal defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with perioperative stroke in noncardiac surgery and their outcomes.

Follow-up to ‘Cholecystectomy in the presence of a large patent foramen ovale: laparoscopic or open?’
We previously reported an obese patient with cholelithiasis and acute cholecystitis, who was scheduled to undergo an emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but was recognized preoperatively to have a large patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a right-to-left shunt that was open at rest . She also had concomitant choledocholithiasis, and she underwent an endoscopic sphincterotomy with prompt resolution of her fever and abdominal pain. At the time, the benefits of laparoscopy were weighed against the risk of paradoxical emboli and stroke, and the choice of either a laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy was discussed carefully wit...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Risk of Cryptogenic Stroke – Analysis of Outcomes and Perioperative Implications
PATENT FORAMEN OVALE (PFO) is the most common congenital defect of the atrial septum, with reported incidences ranging between 27% and 34% in autopsy studies.1 During embryonic life, the PFO is a physiological discontinuity of the septum secundum that allows the oxygenated placental blood to bypass the non-functional lungs of the fetus. There are 2 overlapping components of the developing atrial septum. On the right, the septum secundum stems from an infolding of the atrial walls and contains a posteroinferior oval-shaped opening, the foramen ovale.

PFO! Should I Stay, or Should I Go?
IN THIS issue of the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, Villablanca et al. evaluated whether the presence and diagnosis of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) or atrial septal defect (ASD) preoperatively was associated with an increase in perioperative stroke for patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.1 The authors used “big data” to describe the largest study to date of 19,659,191 hospitalizations retrieved from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's National Readmission Database.

Left Atrial Myxoma Presenting as Cerebral Infarct
ACUTE embolic cerebral stroke is a major health setback for any individual, with increased mortality and morbidity. Embolus arising from cardiac chambers constitutes about 20% of ischemic strokes. Atrial fibrillation is the root cause of more than 50% of cardiogenic emboli, whereas congenital heart diseases, such as atrial septal defect, patent foramen ovale, prosthetic heart valves, rheumatic heart valvular disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, and endocarditis are predisposing factors for cardiogenic emboli.

NobleStitch ™ EL PFO Closure Guided by Transesophageal Echocardiography
Paradoxical embolism secondary to a persistent patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a significant source of embolic stroke and has been increasingly targeted by percutaneous interventional techniques. Both implanted devices and more recently, “deviceless” closure methods (i.e. suturing) have been developed. While device closure methods have historically been the predominant approach, issues related to the implanted devices such as migration, embolization, need for anticoagulation, device related thrombosis (DRT), erosion into adjacen t cardiovascular structures, and endocarditis are well documented.

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
