Other stroke interventions

Find all the latest content on other stroke interventions published on this website.

Percutaneous treatment of conditions such as atrial septal defects (ASD) which create haemodynamic burden, or the closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) which has been linked to ischaemic stroke as well as migraine, can have immediate and long-term beneficial effects. Learn more about the use of imaging, adjunctive pharmacotherapy, stents, devices and techniques as well as understanding vascular access and bleeding complications in the treatment of these and other conditions here...

Atrial septal aneurysm, shunt size, and recurrent stroke risk in patients with patent foramen ovale

14 May 2020

This work aimed at assessing the respective influence of interatrial shunt size and presence of ASA on the risk of recurrent stroke in medically treated patients after an index cryptogenic ischemic stroke in patients with PFO without evidence of alternative causes.
