Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Percutaneous device closure of patent foramen ovale has developed into a therapeutic option for patients with presumed cryptogenic stroke. The appropriate use of these therapies relies on appropriate clinical assessment, as well as an understanding of the potential advantages of certain closure devices. Pregnancy is an uncommon scenario for stroke, but nonetheless represents a hypercoaguable state which may predispose to thromboembolism. We describe a case of stroke during pregnancy treated with percutaneous device closure; the role of, and alternatives to, device closure are discussed, as are specific issues related to device selection and the interventional procedure. |
