OBJECTIVE: To assess the validity of the suggestion that protruding atheromatous material in the thoracic aorta is an important cause of cerebrovascular ischemic events (CIEs) (ie, transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke). METHODS: This case-control study of Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) from 1993 to 1997 included controls without CIE randomly selected from the population, controls without CIE referred for TEE because of cardiac disease, cases with incident CIE of obvious cause (noncryptogenic), and cases with incident CIE of uncertain cause (cryptogenic). RESULTS: Of the 1135 subjects, 520 were randomly selected controls without CIE, 329 were controls without CIE referred for TEE, 159 were noncryptogenic CIE cases, and 127 were cryptogenic CIE cases. Complex atherosclerotic aortic debris in ascending and transverse segments of the arch was detected in 8 randomly selected controls (1.5%), 13 referred controls (4.0%), and 15 noncryptogenic (9.4%) and 4 cryptogenic (3.1%) CIE cases. After adjusting for age, sex, hypertension, smoking, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, congestive heart failure, and atherosclerosis other than in the thoracic aorta, complex atherosclerotic aortic debris was not significantly associated with group status. With randomly selected controls as the referent group, odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.72 (0.61-4.87) for referred controls, 3.16 (1.18-8.51) for noncryptogenic CIE cases, and 1.39 (0.39-4.88) for cryptogenic CIE cases. CONCLUSIONS: Complex atherosclerotic aortic debris is not a risk factor for cryptogenic ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack but is a marker for generalized atherosclerosis and well-established atherosclerotic and cardioembolic mechanisms of cerebral ischemia. Embolization from the aorta is not a common mechanism of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the morphologic characteristics of patent foramen ovale (PFO) on right-to-left shunt (RLS) in patients with PFO and cryptogenic stroke using transesophageal echocardiography and saline contrast transthoracic echocardiography (c-TTE). Of the 165 patients with PFO stroke, both the height and the length of PFO in the provoked RLS group were smaller than those in the constant RLS group. PFO height, interatrial septum mobility and proportion of atrial septal aneurysms were greater in the severe RLS group than in the mild and moderate RLS groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that PFO height and interatrial septum mobility were independent predictors of severe RLS. Multiple territorial ischemic lesions were more common in the severe RLS or constant RLS group. Our findings indicated that the severity of RLS was related to the anatomic features in PFO, inducing different cerebral ischemia lesion patterns in cryptogenic stroke patients with PFO. 相似文献

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) represents a potential path for paradoxical embolism and is associated with cryptogenic stroke. It has been suggested that because a PFO represents a repairable lesion (by surgical or transcatheter methods), repair may be the optimal treatment to prevent recurrent stroke. This report describes a patient with recurrent neurologic and peripheral embolic events, which occurred approximately 6 months after the surgical closure of a PFO. The diagnosis of an intra-atrial thrombus with a small residual PFO was made by subsequent transesophageal echocardiography. Thrombus formation at the closure site needs to be considered in a patient with recurrent embolic events after closure of a PFO. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The eustachian valve (EV) (valvula venae cavae inferioris) is a remnant of the embryonic right valve of the sinus venosus. Embryologically, the EV directs oxygenated blood from the inferior vena cava across the patent foramen ovale (PFO) into the systemic circulation. Transthoracic echocardiography shows the EV in the majority of newborns, but the prevalence of EV in adults studied with transesophageal echocardiography is unknown. We studied whether the presence of an EV is associated with PFO or with cryptogenic stroke. METHODS: The frequency and size of the EV was studied in 211 consecutive patients undergoing transesophageal echocardiography after a cryptogenic stroke and in 95 consecutive patients without cerebrovascular events. In all 306 patients, the presence of a PFO was studied with 2-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic, color Doppler, and contrast echocardiographic studies. RESULTS: An EV was seen in 174 of 306 patients overall (57%). The mean size was 1.0 +/- 0.4 cm (range: 0.5-2.0); 70% of patients with an EV had a PFO (Cohen's kappa = 0.75; P <.001). This relationship was not significantly influenced by a cryptogenic stroke. The prevalence of PFO was 30% in the control group and 61% for those with presumed paradoxical embolism (P <.001). Thus, an EV was more common for patients with presumed paradoxical embolism than in control patients (143 of 211 68% vs 31 of 95 33%, respectively, P <.001). There was no significant difference in the size of the EV between the 2 groups (1.1 vs 1.0 cm; P =.24). CONCLUSION: A persisting EV is a frequent finding in patients with a PFO. By directing the blood from the inferior cava to the interatrial septum, a persisting EV may prevent spontaneous closure of PFO after birth and may, therefore, indirectly predispose to paradoxical embolism. 相似文献

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is present in 15%–30% of the general population and has been associated with various pathologic states, including cryptogenic stroke, platypnea–orthodeoxia syndrome, decompression sickness and migraine with auras. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has a major role in the diagnostic evaluation of PFO, as well as in the post-procedural assessment after transcatheter closure. The goals of this article were to synthesize the echocardiographic transesophageal techniques required for accurate PFO diagnosis and careful anatomic assessment of its anatomic variants, to focus TEE indications for device closure as complementary to clinical indications and to assess the role of TEE in the post-procedure follow-up. 相似文献

A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an embryological remnant found in 27% of adults. It is a potential right-to-left intracardiac shunt. Shunting may be the result of reversal in the interatrial pressure gradient or abnormal streaming of blood in the right atrium. The pathologic consequences of right-to-left shunting include hypoxemia and paradoxical embolism. PFO may exacerbate preexisting hypoxemia or be its primary cause. Paradoxical embolism through a PFO is well documented. Its role in cryptogenic stroke remains controversial. A PFO may be detected by both invasive and noninvasive techniques. Contrast transesophageal echocardiography with provocative maneuvers is the diagnostic method of choice allowing visualization of the shunt. Patients with cryptogenic stroke should be screened for a PFO. If detected, noninvasive studies for deep vein thrombosis are recommended. Treatment must be tailored to the presentation. Surgical or transcatheter closure is recommended for hypoxemia. Prevention of venous embolism (air or thrombus) with or without closure of the PFO is recommended for paradoxical embolism. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in a consecutive unselected cohort of migraine patients (with and without aura) and compare it with a group of ischaemic young and elderly stroke patients. One hundred and forty-one migraine patients were compared with 330 stroke patients (130 young patients; 200 elderly patients) selected from our hospital stroke data bank. PFO was assessed with transcranial Doppler sonography with i.v. injection of agitated saline. The prevalence of PFO was 51.7% in migraine with aura (MA) patients, 33.7% in migraine without aura (MoA) patients, 33.8% in young stroke patients and 20.5% in elderly stroke patients (P < 0.001). The prevalence of PFO in cryptogenic stroke in young and elderly stroke patients was, respectively, 41.1% and 25% (P = 0.04). The difference between MA and MoA patients was significant (odds ratio = 2.1). The prevalence of PFO in MA patients is higher than in MoA patients and in young cryptogenic stroke patients. 相似文献

Foramen ovale plays an important function in the fetus but is of no physiologic significance after birth and closes in most individuals. In about one fourth of the population, however, foramen ovale remains open for life and has been associated with cerebrovascular accidents, especially in younger patients, presumably through paradoxical embolism. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has also been associated with hypoxia, migraine headaches and neurologic findings of decompression illness in scuba divers. Availability of transesophageal echocardiography and its frequent use in the management of patients with stroke has lead to frequent detection of PFO. In addition, the recent development of devices and techniques for percutaneous closure of PFO has resulted in widespread enthusiasm for such interventions, even when a clear etiologic role for PFO may not be established. In the United States, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two such devices through compassionate investigational device exemption without adequate data from large randomized clinical studies. Other such devices are undergoing evaluation in clinical trials. Expert opinions have been helpful for clinical decision making in management of patients with PFO associated with stroke, hypoxia, decompression sickness and migraine headaches. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: An accurate diagnosis of patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) may be of decisional importance in the management of patients with ischemic stroke. Very few studies have been devoted to observer agreement in the diagnosis of these atrial septum abnormalities using contrast transesophageal echocardiography, which is considered as the method of choice for the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to assess interobserver and intraobserver variability in the diagnosis of PFO and ASA with contrast echocardiography. METHODS: Three sonographers independently reviewed 100 contrast studies stored on videotape on 2 occasions each. The interobserver and intraobserver variability was assessed by calculating kappa statistics. RESULTS: The overall interobserver and intraobserver kappa values for the assessment of degree of shunting through a PFO were 0.77 (first and second reading) and 0.82, respectively. The best kappa statistics were obtained when no and small shunts (less than 10 microbubbles) were pooled and compared with larger shunts. For the diagnosis of ASA, the overall interobserver kappa value was 0.45 for the first reading and 0.71 for the second reading, whereas the overall intraobserver kappa value was 0.74. CONCLUSION: Interobserver and intraobserver agreements for the diagnosis of PFO and ASA by transesophageal echocardiography are not perfect and need to be improved, particularly for ASA. This variability has to be taken into account when deciding on a potential risky treatment to prevent recurrent strokes. 相似文献

Development of improved devices for interventional closure of atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale increased the number of adult patients who are being referred for transcatheter closure. We report two cases that were scheduled for patent foramen ovale closure because of a right-to-left atrial shunt detected at contrast transesophageal echocardiography in another institution and that were found to have pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas. Embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas was carried out successfully by transcatheter technique. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The choice of the optimal echo contrast agent could be of relevance for the detection of a patent foramen ovale (PFO). This study compares agitated saline solution and oxypolygelatine (OXY) with respect to their ability to detect a PFO. METHODS: A total of 34 patients (13 women, age 45 +/- 16 years) underwent both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. The appearance of contrast and the presence of a PFO was assessed visually and by acoustic densitometry for both agents. RESULTS: The sensitivity of the detection of a PFO (22 patent, 65%) was 71% with saline versus 84.6% for OXY. Maximum, mean acoustic densitometry grayscale intensity values and the duration of opacification was significantly higher for OXY versus saline for all chambers. CONCLUSIONS: OXY has superior echo properties that translate into a higher sensitivity for the detection of a PFO. The choice of the optimal agent must be considered for clinical routine and research studies. 相似文献

The role of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with cryptogenic stroke (stroke of unknown cause) remains controversial, although an association seems likely in younger patients with atrial septal aneurysms and PFO. The mechanism of cryptogenic stroke in these patients is presumed to be paradoxical embolism via right-to-left shunt across the PFO. The available options for treatment include medical therapy with antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy or closure of the PFO surgically or with use of transcatheter PFO closure devices. We describe 2 cases of bilateral device thrombosis associated with use of a transcatheter PFO closure device (CardioSEAL). To our knowledge, only 1 other case of thrombosis associated with use of this device has been reported. 相似文献
