The potential of covert pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) to cause early
onset, preventable ischemic strokes is not well known to neurologists. This is evident by their …

Multiple randomized clinical trials have demonstrated the benefit of patent foramen ovale
closure over medical therapy alone for patients who have had a stroke that has been …

Aims This study aimed to investigate changes in dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA), 20
stroke‐related blood biomarkers, and autonomic regulation after patent foramen ovale (PFO) …

Background Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a prevalent cardiac remnant of fetal anatomy that
may pose a risk factor for stroke in some patients, while others can present with …

There is emerging evidence that the cardiac interatrial septum has an important role as a
thromboembolic source for ischemic strokes. There is little consensus on treatment of …

This review aims to summarize current knowledge and highlight recent findings on the
association between cryptogenic stroke (CS) and patent foramen ovale (PFO). By presenting …

Background The high prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in cryptogenic stroke
suggested a stroke-causing role for PFO. As risk factors for recurrence of such stroke are not …

Introduction Patent foramen ovale (PFO) patients may experience states of hypoxia and
hypoperfusion, which may increase the burden of enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) …

Background Even though the optimal management of a moderate or large residual shunt
following patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is open to question, recent data confirmed that …

The foramen ovale connecting the right and left atrium in utero fails to close in a quarter of
adults. 1 Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is roughly twice as common among people with …
