Abstract: We showed that residual shunt after patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure was associated with the presence of an atrial septal aneurysm (ASA). Such aneurysms are often related to additional atrial septal defects. However, no defects… read more here.

Abstract: Background Even though the optimal management of a moderate or large residual shunt following patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is open to question, recent data confirmed that it is associated with an increased risk of… read more here.

DOI: 10.7326/m19-3583
Abstract: BACKGROUND Residual shunt is observed in up to 25% of patients after patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, but its long-term influence on stroke recurrence currently is unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of residual shunt… read more here.
