Percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale: A cardiological perspective

A patent foramen is commonly found in the general population. Evidence exists that a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal aneurysm are strongly associated with cryptogenic stroke. Associations with migraine have also been described, but the status of cause and effect is less clear. Managemen...
