There is decreased risk for recurrent ischemic stroke among patients aged older than 60 years in the US following patient foramen ovale closure.

Right-to-left shunting via an intracardiac communication such as a PFO or atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common cause. Although previous reports have hypothesised why right-to-left shunting is ...

The analysis included 10,914 patients born (January 2008 to June 2022) with atrial septal defect (ASD), PFO, ventricular septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The researchers found ...

The analysis included 10,914 patients born between January 2008 and June 2022 with atrial septal defect (ASD), PFO, ventricular septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

Our aim was to investigate the efficacy and safety of PFO closure using cryoablation without implantation in patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent PVI.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO)‐associated stroke has a complex and diverse pathogenesis. It mainly results from a paradoxical embolism caused by venous thrombosis. However, few studies have investigated ...
