Article Abstract

Patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty frequently develop post-operative complication, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism. However, it is not common coexisting deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolisms, right atrial thrombus and acute cerebral infarction raised by thrombus through patent foramen ovale. We reported the patient who had multiple thrombi which were accompanied with a cryptogenic ischemic stroke and associated with patent foramen ovale after operation.

Background: The causal relationship between migraines and patent foramen ovale (PFO) remains controversial, and a major unresolved question is how to define migraines attributable to PFO. Thus, this study aimed to determine if brain lesions could be a potential indicator of PFO-related migraines.

Methods: Consecutive migraine patients from 2017 to 2019 who underwent transthoracic echocardiography or transcranial Doppler examination with an agitated saline contrast injection were assessed for right-to-left shunts.

Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been identified as a potential risk factor for cryptogenic stroke (CS). Although transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is considered the gold standard for PFO detection, false-negative results remain a clinical concern, particularly in CS patients with high suspicion of PFO-related etiology.

Aims: To evaluate the clinical utility of transcatheter PFO exploration (TPFOE) in CS patients with negative TEE findings but high suspicion of PFO-related etiology.

Background Sacroiliac joint fusion is performed to stabilize and fuse the joint in patients with degenerative sacroiliitis and joint dysfunction. While several posterior techniques and implants exist as alternatives to lateral approaches, biomechanical and clinical performance data for these systems used as standalone remains limited. This article provides a preliminary cadaveric and clinical assessment of a novel posterior intra-articular sacroiliac fusion implant system.

Cerebral infarction is a rare but serious complication after pulmonary resection for lung cancer. A 78-year-old man with hypertension and diabetes underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic right middle lobectomy for stage IA2 adenocarcinoma. On postoperative day 1, he developed acute right hemiparesis and motor aphasia.

Introduction: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with cryptogenic stroke (CS), whereas not all PFO carriers experience strokes. Current risk assessment tools like the Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) scoring system and PFO-Associated Stroke Causal Likelihood (PASCAL) system have limitations, particularly in elderly populations. This study aims to explore risk factors for PFO-related CS and evaluate age-related differences between younger and elderly patients.
