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.

Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs) are commonly used for patients undergoing chemotherapy and long-term repeated infusions. The incidence of thrombosis is low and rarely leads to serious complications. We report a case of right atrial thrombosis and paradoxical embolism in a 58-year-old male with atrial fibrillation (AF) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) 28 months after TIVAP implantation.

Background: The Food and Drug Administration has approved percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure devices for hemodynamically significant interatrial shunts, paradoxical emboli including stroke, and decompression sickness. We aimed to study the trends in utilization and reimbursements of transcatheter ASD/PFO closure devices.
Aim: To analyze trends in utilization and Medicare reimbursements for transcatheter ASD/PFO closure procedures from 2013 to 2022.

Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with recurrence risk increasing with age. In patients over 60 years of age with cryptogenic stroke, paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale may be an important pathophysiology contributor, particularly when high-risk anatomical features (e.g.
