"interventional closure of patent foramen ovale (pfo) with amplatzer pfo occluder in patients with paradoxical cerebral embolism "
background: percutaneous transcatheter closure has been proposed as an alternative to surgical closure or long-term anticoagulation in patients with presumed paradoxical embolism and patent foramen ovale (pfo). methods: there were two symptomatic patients (29 and 47 years old) who underwent percutaneous transcatheter closure of pfo after at least two events of cerebral ischemia; one embolic eve...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale with Amplatzer PFO Occluder: a single center experience.
INTRODUCTION Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with the occurrence of cryptogenic strokes, transient neurological ischemic attacks (TIA) and migraine. Therefore despite the recent ambiguous results of prospective controlled trials, percutaneous closure of PFO is still performed in many centers. AIM To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous PFO closure in the prevention o...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of patent foramen ovale after presumed paradoxical embolism.
BACKGROUND Many have proposed a relation between presence of a patent foramen ovale, with or without atrial septal aneurysm, and cryptogenic stroke. The effect of foramen ovale closure on the risk for subsequent strokes is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale was undertaken in 36 patients with known right-to-left atrial shunting and presumed paradoxical...
متن کاملPatent Foramen Ovale and Closure Technique with the Amplatzer Occluder
Proof that percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) is superior to medical treatment is still incomplete. Paradoxical embolism is a rare event occurring over decades rather than years. None of the 4 randomized trials published carried enough patients or was followed up for long enough to reach superiority endpoints. All data, however, point to a benefit of PFO closure. Free wall e...
متن کاملPercutaneous patent foramen ovale closure: the Paradoxical Cerebral Embolism Prevention Registry.
INTRODUCTION The natural history and therapeutic interventions for secondary prevention after a cerebrovascular event in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) are not yet established. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous PFO closure in a population of patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease of unknown etiology. METHODS This prospective observational stud...
