Abstract: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an embryonic interatrialdefect potentially associated withischemic cerebralstrokes. One option is the occlusion of the atrial shunt byendovascular means.Nevertheless, a association has been established between the occurrence of certain cryptogenic ischemic strokes and the presence of a PFO. The risk appears higher when septal patency is associated with atrial septal aneurysm (ASA).The aim of this presentation is to study the association between the PFO and the occurrence of ischemic stroke, and the benefits of its closure.
Keywords: Cryptogenic ischemic stroke, patent foramen ovale, TEE, PFO closure. Recurrence.
