摘要:Patent foramen ovale (PFO) which is caused by failed fusion of septum primum and septum secundum,is the first leading con-genital heart abnormality,affecting about 25% of the general population.[1-3] PFO is associated with many diseases,including decompression sickness,platypnea-orthodeoxia,and migraines.[4-6] Import-antly,it has been hypothesized that PFO allows the thrombus to move directly from the right side of the heart into arterial circulation and may cause crypto-genic stroke,particularly in patients with deep ven-ous thrombosis and other structural abnormalities like atrial septal aneurysms,Chiari network,and Eustachian tube dysfunction.
