DOI: 10.1002/jcu.23325
Abstract: A patent foramen ovale, which is present in up to 25% of the population, is a risk factor for cryptogenic stroke (which accounts for 15%–40% of strokes) and transient ischemic attack via paradoxical embolism. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10072-020-04922-4
Abstract: Objective Systematic reviews suggest that patent foramen ovale closure (PFOc) is performed percutaneously with low complication rates. We did a network meta-analysis (NMA) comparing devices for PFO closures, evaluating safety and efficacy of transcatheter PFOc… read more here.
