Atrial cardiopathy in young adults with embolic stroke of undetermined source: a myocardial deformation imaging analysis
ConclusionThis study shows that in our population atria cardiopathy and atrial function was not associated with ESUS.LAA structural and functional abnormalities may play a major role. The role of LAA in ESUS warrants further studies.

Importance of saline contrast transthoracic echocardiography for evaluating large right-to-left shunt in patent foramen ovale associated with cryptogenic stroke
In conclusion , TTE identified large RL shunt associated with CS with higher sensitivity and accuracy compared to TEE. Our findings suggest that the decision for device closure should be made based on the severity of RL shunt by TTE.

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...
