Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a condition that requires early intervention because of the consequences over the right-side heart. Chronic atrial stretching promotes atrial conduction delay and the imbalance of the conduction homogeneity, which lead to the propensity to atrial arrhythmias (AA). We aim to evaluate the impact of transcatheter closure of ASD on atrial vulnerability markers leading to late AA in young adults. We conducted a prospective, longitudinal study in one hundred patients (mean age 25.2 ± 5.4 years) who underwent transcatheter closure of ASD at Cardiocentro Pediátrico William Soler. P-wave maximum (Pmax) and P-wave dispersion (Pd) were analyzed from 12-lead electrocardiogram. Left-side and right-side intraatrial and interatrial electromechanical delay (EMD) were measured with tissue Doppler imaging. Both electrocardiographic and echocardiographic analyses were performed during the study period. Compared to baseline, there was a significant reduction in P max (p ≤ 0.001) and Pd (p ≤ 0.001) after 3 months of procedure. All atrial electromechanical coupling parameters significantly reduced at 6 months of ASD closure and tend to remain at lower values till the last evaluation. Over 9.2 ± 1.6 years of follow-up, 15 subjects (15%) developed AA, of which intraatrial reentrant tachycardia (66.6%) became the main rhythm disturbance. Intra-right atrial EMD ≥ 16 ms (HR 4.08, 95% CI 1.15-14.56; p = 0.03) and Pd 45 ms (HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.06-2.59; p = 0.02) were identified as predictors of late AA. Transcatheter device closure of ASD in young adults promotes a significant reduction of electrocardiographic and echocardiographic markers of AA vulnerability, which persist during the long-term follow-up. Nevertheless, Pd and interatrial EMD were identified as independent risk factors of AA.

A cirurgia minimamente invasiva é segura e eficaz no tratamento de diversas afecções cardíacas, com evolução intra-hospitalar bastante positiva. Descrevemos aqui o caso de paciente do sexo masculino, com 72 anos de idade, portador de comunicação interatrial com shunt bidirecional e bloqueio atrioventricular avançado com síncope. Foi contraindicado o fechamento da comunicação interatrial e indicado marcapasso dupla-câmara com cabos-eletrodos epicárdicos em decorrência da presença do shunt. O procedimento foi realizado por meio de minitoracotomia direita, com implante de cabos-eletrodos atrial e ventricular direitos bipolares, com gerador implantado em loja subcutânea na região infraclavicular direita. O paciente apresentou boa evolução, recebendo alta no quarto dia de pós-operatório em boas condições
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is safe and effective in the treatment of a wide range of cardiac diseases, with very positive in-hospital outcomes. We describe the case of a 72-year-old male patient, with atrial septal defect, bidirectional shunt and advanced atrioventricular block with syncope. The atrial septal defect closure was contraindicated and he was referred for a dual-chamber pacemaker and epicardial leads implantation due to the presence of shunt. The patient underwent a right minithoracotomy with the implantation of bipolar atrial and ventricular leads and placement of a pacemaker generator in a subcutaneous envelope in the right infraclavicular region. The patient evolved well and was discharged on the fourth postoperative day in good conditions

A comunicação interatrial tipo ostium secundum (CIA OS) é uma cardiopatia congênita relativamente frequente, que causa repercussão hemodinâmica para o ventrículo direito, com sobrecarga volumétrica e dilatação da câmara. A maioria dos pacientes é assintomática, porém sintomas podem aparecer depois da segunda década de vida. O tratamento eletivo é usualmente realizado próximo ao quinto ano de vida, podendo ser indicado mais precocemente quando houver sintomatologia exuberante. O fechamento transcateter usando uma prótese de duplo disco é bem estabelecido como a primeira escolha de tratamento para a maioria dos pacientes de anatomia favorável. Foi comprovado que o forame oval patente (FOP) está associado à acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico (AVCI) em pacientes com poucos ou nenhum fator de risco de doença cardiovascular. Recentemente, foi demonstrado que a oclusão transcateter do FOP é superior ao tratamento clínico para prevenir recorrências de AVCI nessa população, em um estudo randomizado com acompanhamento clínico de longo prazo. Este manuscrito revisa as atuais indicações, critérios de seleção do paciente e o seguimento clínico dos pacientes com CIA OS e FOP submetidos ao tratamento transcateter
Ostium secundum atrial septal defect (OS-ASD) is a relatively frequent congenital heart defect that causes hemodynamic burden on the right ventricle with volume overload and chamber dilatation. Most patients are asymptomatic, however symptoms can appear after the second decade of life. Elective treatment is usually performed around the fifth year of life, and may be occasionally indicated earlier if there are exuberant symptoms. Transcatheter closure using a double disc device is well established as the first choice of treatment for most patients with suitable anatomy. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been shown to be associated with ischemic stroke in patients with no or limited risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It was recently demonstrated in a randomized trial with long-term follow-up that transcatheter closure of PFO is superior to medical treatment for preventing recurrences of stroke in this patient population. This manuscript reviews the current indications, patient selection criteria, and long-term follow-up in patients with OS-ASD and PFO submitted to transcatheter closure

A failing intracardiac device is traditionally addressed by open-heart surgery. Surgical explantation of the device, although a simple procedure, carries risks that some patients are not able or willing to cope with. Thus, a nonsurgical option seems desirable in selected cases. We report on four cases of early malfunction of the Polyvinyl Alcohol membrane of Ultrasept II™ CARDIA ASD devices. In all cases, transthoracic echo (TTE) surveillance 4-6 months after the index procedure, depicted significant left-to-right atrial shunts through the center portion of the devices. A second nitinol double disk device with a connecting pin (Lifetech CERA™ Multifenestrated ASD device) was implanted over the CARDIA devices, with excellent results. All procedures were uneventful and all patients are asymptomatic with no residual shunts, in short-term follow-up. This device-in-device technique prevents surgical explantation of failing ASD devices, and may become a less invasive option in selected patients. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

O ecocardiograma transesofágico (ECO-TE) é o método mais utilizado para guiar otratamento percutâneo da comunicação interatrial (CIA) e do forame oval (FOP), mas a necessidade de um outro profissional para realizá-lo e de anestesia geral constituem inconvenientes para seu emprego. Oecocardiograma intracardíaco (ECO-IC) apresenta-se como alternativa ao ECO-TE, pois pode ser realizado pelo próprio operador e demanda apenas anestesia local, com leve ou nenhuma sedação. Nosso objetivo foi relatar a experiência do serviço com a oclusão de CIA/FOP guiada por ECO-IC. Métodos: O ECO-IC utiliza cateter de ultrassom, que é introduzido por via venosa em câmaras cardíacas direitas e, por meio de posicionamento variável do transdutor, obtém as imagens adequadas para a intervenção. Foram avaliadas as taxas de sucesso do procedimento e as complicações. Resultados: De 2011 a 2015, foram realizados 201 procedimentos guiados pelo ECO-IC, sendo 139 empacientes com CIA e 62 com FOP. A maioria dos pacientes era do sexo feminino (64,2%), as idades variaramde 7 a 78 anos (36,6 ± 19,3 anos) e o peso variou de 28 a 92 kg (62,5 ± 13,0 kg). Foram utilizadas próteses Occlutech Figulla®, e todas as intervenções tiveram sucesso, com tempos de fluoroscopia de 5,7 ± 2,4 minutos e tempo de procedimento de 21,5 ± 6,4 minutos. Dois pacientes (2,0%) apresentaram taquicardia supraventricular transitória e outros dois pacientes evoluíram com fístula arteriovenosa na via de acesso, com resolução espontânea no primeiro mês. Conclusões: O ECO-IC forneceu informações anatômicas precisas para guiar o fechamento da CIA/FOP com sucesso e eliminou as principais desvantagens do ECO-TE...
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the most widely used method to guide the percutaneous treatment of atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO), but the necessity of another professional to perform it and the need for general anesthesia are potential disadvantages. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is seen as an alternative to TEE, as it can be performed by the interventionist and requires only local anesthesia with mild or no sedation. The aim of this study was to report our experience with ASD/PFO occlusion guided by ICE. Methods: The ICE uses an ultrasound catheter, which is intravenously inserted in the right heart chambers and acquires images for the intervention through variable positioning of the transducer. Success and complication rates of the procedure were evaluated. Results: From 2011 to 2015, 201 procedures guided by ICE were performed, comprising 139 in patients with ASD and 62 in those with PFO. Most patients were female (64.2%), ages ranged from 7 to 78 years (36.6 ±19.3 years), and weight ranged from 28 to 92 kg (62.5 ± 13.0 kg). Occlutech Figulla® prostheses were used and all interventions were successful, with fluoroscopy time of 5.7 ± 2.4 minutes and procedure time of 21.5 ± 6.4 minutes. Two patients (2.0%) had transient supraventricular tachycardia and two others had arteriovenous fistula at the access site, with spontaneous resolution in the first month of follow-up. Conclusions: ICE provided accurate anatomical information to guide the closure of the ASD/PFO and successfully eliminated the main drawbacks of TEE...

Defeitos congênitos múltiplos são tradicionalmente corrigidos cirurgicamente, mas, atualmente, podem ser tratados percutaneamente. Existem poucos relatos na literatura atestandosua eficácia e segurança. Objetivamos descrever uma experiência com a realização de procedimentoscombinados para tratar diferentes defeitos, congênitos e estruturais, numa mesma sessão terapêutica. Métodos: Desde 2007, foram tratados, numa mesma sessão terapêutica, diferentes defeitos. Todos foram selecionados por ecocardiograma. Os procedimentos foram realizados segundo as técnicas tradicionais já descritas para cada defeito encontrado. Resultados: Foram tratados dez pacientes, cinco do sexo masculino, com idades de 1 a 67 anos, e pesos de 11 a 90 kg. O defeito mais prevalente de forma isolada foi a persistência do canal arterial (PCA, n = 5), seguido da comunicação interatrial ostium secundum (CIA OS, n = 4) e da comunicação interventricular (CIV, n = 4). As combinações mais frequentes foram CIV com PCA (n = 2) e CIV com CIA OS (n = 2). Foram dilatadas duasestenoses valvares pulmonares com CIA OS e com forame oval patente (FOP), e uma coarctação de aorta com PCA. Adicionalmente, foi ocluído um apêndice atrial esquerdo com FOP e foi embolizada uma fístula aortopulmonar com PCA. Todos os procedimentos foram bem-sucedidos. O tempo médio de seguimento foi de 31 ± 28,1 meses, havendo apenas duas complicações. Não houve nenhum óbito. Conclusões: A pequena série de casos relatada mostrou que os procedimentos combinados foram seguros e eficazes, podendo ser reproduzidos por operadores experientes em centros especializados, podendo vir a se constituir como primeira opção terapêutica para esses pacientes...
Multiple congenital defects are traditionally corrected surgically, but nowadays can be treatedpercutaneously. There are few reports in the literature attesting to its efficacy and safety. We aimed to describe an experience with combined procedures to treat different congenital and structural defects, in a single therapeutic session.Methods: Since 2007, different defects were treated in a single treatment session. All were selected byechocardiography. The procedures were performed using traditional techniques already described for each defect.Results: Ten patients were treated, five males, aged 1-67 years, weighting 11-90 kilograms. The most prevalent isolated defect was patent ductus arteriosus (PDA, n = 5), followed by ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASD, n = 4) and ventricular septal defects (VSD, n = 4). The most common combinations were VSD with PDA (n = 2) and VSD with osASD (n = 2). Two pulmonary valve stenosis were dilated with ASD and patent foramen ovale (PFO), and one aorta coarctation with PDA. Additionally, a left atrial appendage with PFO was occluded and an aorto pulmonary fistula with PDA was embolized. All procedures were successful. The mean follow-up was 31 ± 28.1 months, with only two complications. There were no deaths.Conclusions: The small number of reported cases showed that the combined procedures were safe andeffective and can be reproduced by experienced operators in specialized centers and may be considered asthe first therapeutic option in these patients...

OBJECTIVES: The study performs a cost-effectiveness analysis of procedures for atrial septal defects occlusion, comparing conventional surgery to septal percutaneous implant. METHODS: A model of analytical decision was structured with symmetric branches to estimate cost-effectiveness ratio between the procedures. The decision tree model was based on evidences gathered through meta-analysis of literature, and validated by a panel of specialists. The lower number of surgical procedures performed for atrial septal defects occlusion at each branch was considered as the effectiveness outcome. Direct medical costs and probabilities for each event were inserted in the model using data available from Brazilian public sector database system and information extracted from the literature review, using micro-costing technique. Sensitivity analysis included price variations of percutaneous implant. RESULTS: The results obtained from the decision model demonstrated that the percutaneous implant was more cost effective in cost-effectiveness analysis at a cost of US$8,936.34 with a reduction in the probability of surgery occurrence in 93% of the cases. Probability of atrial septal communication occlusion and cost of the implant are the determinant factors of cost-effectiveness ratio. CONCLUSIONS: The proposal of a decision model seeks to fill a void in the academic literature. The decision model proposed includes the outcomes that present major impact in relation to the overall costs of the procedure. The atrial septal defects occlusion using percutaneous implant reduces the physical and psychological distress to the patients in relation to the conventional surgery, which represent intangible costs in the context of economic evaluation.

Introdução: A oclusão percutânea das comunicações interatriais tipo ostium secundum com as próteses disponíveis comercialmente é procedimento seguro e eficaz. Apresentamos a experiência com duas próteses de nova geração, com fios de nitinol revestidos. Métodos: Descrevemos as características das próteses, a técnica de implante e os resultados de pacientes portadores de comunicações interatriais, tratados com as próteses Lifetech CERA® ASD Occluder e Cocoon Septal Occluder. Resultados: Foram realizados procedimentos em 49 pacientes, sendo 37 do sexo feminino. A idade variou de 7 a 68 anos, e o peso de 17 a 90 kg. A borda aórtica estava presente em 34,7% e aneurisma de septo atrial em 14,3% dos pacientes. Os diâmetros estáticos dos orifícios principais foram de 13 ± 7 mm e os diâmetros estirados de 22 ± 7 mm. O implante foi possível em todos os casos, sendo empregados 55 dispositivos. Foram utilizadas próteses CERA® em 45 pacientes e Cocoon nos demais. Três pacientes necessitaram ocluir um segundo orifício. Durante os procedimentos, foi necessária a substituição da primeira prótese por outra de maior diâmetro em dois casos e por deformidade da prótese (configuração em tulipa) no terceiro caso. A oclusão imediata ocorreu em 91,9% e em 95,9% no 6° mês. Não ocorreram óbitos ou outras complicações significativas. Conclusões: O manuseio das próteses CERA® e Cocoon foi simples e reprodutível nas mãos de operadores experientes. As taxas de oclusão imediata foram semelhantes às obtidas com as próteses Amplatzer®. Mais estudos e seguimento de longo prazo se fazem necessários para determinar as reais vantagens do revestimento dos fios de nitinol.
Background: Transcatheter occlusion of secundum atrial septal defects using commercial available devices is a safe and effective procedure. We present our experience with two new generation coated nitinol wire devices. Methods: We report device characteristics, implantation technique and outcomes of patients with atrial septal defects treated with the Lifetech CERATM ASD Occluder and the Cocoon Septal Occluder. Results: Procedures were performed in 49 patients, 37 were female. Ages ranged from 7 to 68 years and body weight from 17 to 90 kg. The aortic rim was present in 34.7% and atrial septal aneurysms in 14.3% of the patients. Mean diameter was 13 ± 7 mm whereas the balloonstretched diameter was 22 ± 7 mm. Implantation was possible in all cases and 55 devices were used. Fortyfive CERATM and four Cocoon devices were used. Three patients required occlusion of a second orifice. During the procedures the first device had to be replaced by a larger one in two cases, and in the third case it was replaced due to a tuliplike malformation of the left atrial disc. Immediate occlusion occurred in 91.9% and in 95.9% at 6 months. There were no deaths or other significant complications. Conclusions: The use of both CERATM and Cocoon devices was simple and reproducible in experienced hands. Shortterm occlusion rates were similar to the ones obtained with the AmplatzerTM device. More studies and longterm followup are required to determine the actual advantages of coated nitinol wire devices.

Coexistence of an ostium secundum type atrial septal defect and a coronary artery anomaly with an aberrant retroaortic course is a rare congenital anomaly that may potentially complicate percutaneous atrial septal defects (ASD) closure. If the anterosuperior rim of the defect is deficient, the abnormally located coronary artery may be compressed or distorted by the implanted device causing myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and eventually sudden cardiac death. Due to the potential occurrence of these fatal cardiac events, diagnosis of an aberrant coronary artery with a retroaortic course must be established before percutaneous ASD closure. In this report, two patients with this rare association are described in whom percutaneous closure of the defect was feasible and uneventful. The importance of a careful periprocedural, noninvasive echocardiographic coronary artery imaging is emphasized, and the rational for percutaneous atrial septal defect closure in this unusual anatomic arrangement is proposed.

Tel Hashomer camptodactyly syndrome (THCS) is a rare autosomal recessive camptodactyly with muscular involvement. The manifestations of THCS other than camptodactyly are clubbed feet, thenar and hypothenar hypoplasia, abnormal palmar creases and dermatoglyphic ridges, spina bifida and mitral valve prolapse. The syndrome was first described by Goodman et al in 1972 and thereafter two further cases with similar phenotype were seen. Herein, we present another case report and review of the literature of other syndromes associated with camptodactyly and mitral valve prolapse. Further cases with this syndrome need to be reported for mapping of the candidate loci. This will help in planning management and genetic counselling.

Percutaneous atrial septal defect closure has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective procedure. Many different devices have been utilized during the last decade with a low complication rate. We report a patient who presented with cardiac tamponade 6 months after ASD closure using the Solysafe device. Emergency surgery demonstrated a disarticulated device as well as a broken wire migrated into the pericardial space causing cardiac perforation and tamponade. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of late cardiac perforation following ASD closure using the Solysafe device.

Although Anne had many complex health issues and experienced considerable support from her extended family, she wanted freedom from the restrictions posed by peritoneal dialysis. Her quality of life changed after transplantation, with more opportunities to engage in leisure activities, ability to travel, a less restricted diet, and an improved self-image. She required fewer treatments, surgeries, and hospitalizations. She left behind the role of sick child and took up a role more like a healthy child. During the disease and decision-making process, Anne learned coping mechanisms, allowing her to gain autonomy to make decisions. The case study illustrates both the need to listen to children as well as to care for the entire family. The nursing management of this child and her family was continually changing, and multiple strategies were used to support the family. The nurse came to understand the roles of family members in constant change, the sources of their resources, and foci of tensions. Based on this knowledge, the nurse can act by mobilizing resources, strengthening the confidence of family members, and helping them develop coping mechanisms. In conclusion, care of the ill child must be family-centered. Stresses on the family have an impact on the child and vice versa. The potential to influence the quality of life of both the child and the family is considerable.

FUNDAMENTO: A ecocardiografia bidimensional à beira do leito tem sido utilizada com sucesso para guiar a atriosseptostomia com cateter balão, agilizando o procedimento e evitando os riscos do transporte para o laboratório de hemodinâmica. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados da atriosseptostomia com cateter balão à beira do leito em neonatos cianóticos. MÉTODOS: Entre jan/1997 e jul/2008, foram realizados 102 procedimentos de atriosseptostomia com cateter balão guiados pela ecocardiografia, sendo avaliados níveis de saturação, diâmetro da comunicação, saturação de oxigênio, resposta clínico-laboratorial e complicações relacionadas ao procedimento. RESULTADOS: De um total de 102 casos de Rashkind realizados à beira do leito, 98 preencheram os critérios de inclusão, sendo 90 neonatos do Grupo A (procedimento de Rashkind em fase pré-operatória) e 8 do Grupo B (procedimento em fase pós-operatória). Houve predomínio do sexo masculino (75 por cento), a idade média foi de 8,3 ± 9,3 dias, o peso médio foi de 3.100 ± 1.100 g e a transposição das grandes artérias foi a cardiopatia congênita mais frequente (n = 74). Comparando-se os valores das saturações pré e pós-procedimento (65,9 ± 19,5 por cento e 86 ± 9,7 por cento) e o diâmetro da comunicação interatrial pré e pós-procedimento (2,3 ± 1,0 mm e 5,5 ± 1,3 mm) houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p < 0,001). Comparando-se os valores das saturações e o diâmetro da comunicação interatrial nos grupos de sobreviventes e não sobreviventes não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p > 0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A atriosseptostomia com cateter guiada pela ecocardiografia reduz os riscos por possibilitar a efetiva paliação sem perda de tempo em neonatos cianóticos, além de apresentar menores custos hospitalares.
BACKGROUND: The bedside two-dimensional echocardiography (2-D ECHO) has been successfully used to guide the balloon atrial septostomy, speeding up the procedure and preventing the risks of transportation to the hemodynamics laboratory. OBJECTIVE: To assess the results of the bedside balloon atrial septostomy in cyanotic neonates. METHODS: Between January/1997 and July/2008, 102 atrioseptostomies by balloon catheter guided by echocardiography were carried out and saturation levels, defect diameter, oxygen saturation, clinical-laboratory response and complications related to the procedure were evaluated. RESULTS: Of 102 cases of bedside Rashkind septostomy, 98 met the inclusion criteria, with 90 neonates in Group A (Rashkind procedure in the preoperative phase) and 8 in Group B (procedure at the postoperative phase). There was a predominance of the male sex (75 percent), mean age was 8.3 ± 9.3 days and the mean weight was 3,100 ± 1,100 g; the transposition of the great arteries was the most frequent congenital heart disease (n = 74). When comparing the levels of saturation pre and post-procedure (65.9 ± 19.5 percent and 86 ± 9.7 percent) and the diameter of the interatrial septal defect pre and post-procedure (2.3 ± 1.0 mm and 5.5 ± 1.3 mm) there was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). When comparing the levels of saturation and the diameter of the interatrial septal defect between the group of survivors vs non-survivor, there was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The balloon atrial septostomy guided by the echocardiography reduces the risks by allowing the effective palliative procedure to be carried out promptly in cyanotic neonates, in addition to presenting lower hospital costs.

BACKGROUND: The bedside two-dimensional echocardiography (2-D ECHO) has been successfully used to guide the balloon atrial septostomy, speeding up the procedure and preventing the risks of transportation to the hemodynamics laboratory. OBJECTIVE: To assess the results of the bedside balloon atrial septostomy in cyanotic neonates. METHODS: Between January/1997 and July/2008, 102 atrioseptostomies by balloon catheter guided by echocardiography were carried out and saturation levels, defect diameter, oxygen saturation, clinical-laboratory response and complications related to the procedure were evaluated. RESULTS: Of 102 cases of bedside Rashkind septostomy, 98 met the inclusion criteria, with 90 neonates in Group A (Rashkind procedure in the preoperative phase) and 8 in Group B (procedure at the postoperative phase). There was a predominance of the male sex (75%), mean age was 8.3 ± 9.3 days and the mean weight was 3,100 ± 1,100 g; the transposition of the great arteries was the most frequent congenital heart disease (n = 74). When comparing the levels of saturation pre and post-procedure (65.9 ± 19.5% and 86 ± 9.7%) and the diameter of the interatrial septal defect pre and post-procedure (2.3 ± 1.0 mm and 5.5 ± 1.3 mm) there was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). When comparing the levels of saturation and the diameter of the interatrial septal defect between the group of survivors vs non-survivor, there was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The balloon atrial septostomy guided by the echocardiography reduces the risks by allowing the effective palliative procedure to be carried out promptly in cyanotic neonates, in addition to presenting lower hospital costs.

El infarto cerebral durante el embarazo o puerperio es una complicación grave que causa alta morbimortalidad materna. Presentamos el caso de una mujer previamente sana, de 32 años de edad, que sufrió embolismo cerebral posparto. La ecocardiografía confirma la presencia de foramen oval permeable, que puede ser causa de embolismo paradójico, causando un accidente vascular cerebral transitorio o infarto. Para prevenir episodios recurrentes de embolismo cerebral durante el embarazo, parto o puerperio, se realizó el cierre intervencional del foramen oval sin complicaciones.
Stroke during pregnancy and puerperium is a severe complication that causes high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of previously healthy, 32 year old woman, who suffered cerebral embolism after delivery. Echocardiography confirmed the patent foramen ovale. Patent foramen ovale may be a mechanism of paradoxical embolism causing a transient ischemic attack or stroke. To prevent recurrent cerebral embolism during pregnancy, delivery and puerpuerium, interventional closure of the patent foramen ovale was performed. The postinterventional course was uneventeful.

Antecedentes: El foramen oval permeable (FOP) es un hallazgo frecuente en pacientes con accidente vascular encefálico criptogénico (AVEC), y se discute la utilidad de su cierre percutáneo (CP). Objetivo: Evaluar el riesgo de recurrencia de eventos neurológicos en pacientes con AVEC y FOP, y compararlos entre aquellos tratados médicamente y los sometidos a CP. Métodos: Entre los 106 pacientes admitidos por AVEC y FOP, en el período 2003 a 2006, determinamos la aparición de nuevos eventos neurológicos isquémicos (NEN), y estudiamos sus factores determinantes y comparamos los que se sometieron a CP versus lo que continuaron con tratamiento médico, según criterio del tratante. Se consignaron las características clínicas y de la antomía del FOP en el ecocardiograma Los NEN se confirmaron por examen neurológico y/o neuro-imágenes. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó chi-cuadrado y regresión logística.Resultados: Entre los 106 pacientes evaluados, 87 siguieron tratamiento médico y 19 CP. Los pacientes sometidos a CP presentaban mayor asociación de FOP con aneurisma del septum interauricular (ASI) (57,9% versus 35,6%, p=0,05). El seguimiento fue de 27 +/-13 meses. En este período se demostró un 12,6% de nuevo evento neurológico entre los tratados médicamente, mientras que ninguno lo presentó entre los sometidos al CP (NS). El único predictor independiente para NEN fue el ASI asociado con FOP; OR: 8,45 (1,56-60,46). Conclusiones: De acuerdo a nuestros resultados, los pacientes con AVEC y FOP tienen alto riesgo de recurrencia cuando el FOP se asocia a ASI y aparentemente se benefician con CP.
Background: Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a frequent finding in patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS). Theeffect of closing the PFO in this setting is debated. Aim: to evaluate de risk of stroke recurrence in patients with CS and PFO; to compare this risk in patients followed under medical treatment with those undergoing percutaneous closure of PFO. Methods: From 2003 to 2006, 106 patients were admitted with a CS and the presence of PFO was documented by echocardiography. New ischemic strokes and risk factors were compared between those who weresubmitted to percutaneous closure of PFO and those treated in a conventional way. The decision to close thePFO was taken by the physician in charge. Clinical findings and echocardiographic characteristics of thePFO were recorded. New ischemic events were diagnosed by neurologic assessment and/or imaging techniques. Data was analyzed by chi square testing and logistic regression. Results: 87 patients were followed under medical treatment and 19 had closure of the PFO. The latter group had a greater incidence of atrial septal aneurysm (57.9% vs. 35.6%, p=0.05). The mean follow up was 27 +/- 13 months.New ischemic stroke occurred in 12.6% in the medically treated group while none was observed in the PFO closure group (NS). The sole independent predictor of new stroke was the presence of atrial septal aneurysm (OR: 8.45, 95% C.I. 1.56 - 60.46) Conclusion: Patients with CS and PFO are at considerable risk of developing new strokes, especially those with concomitant atrial septal aneurysm. Closure of PFO was apparently useful to prevent this risk.
